Volunteer With Us

The National Trust of Australia (Victoria) proudly manages several remarkable properties that allow visitors to step back in time and explore our shared heritage.  

Mulberry Hill

Nestled amidst the serene landscapes of Langwarrin, Mulberry Hill stands as a testament to the creative legacy of artist Sir Daryl Lindsay and author Lady Joan Lindsay. This charming property was their home for over four decades and served as an inspiring backdrop for their artistic pursuits. From Sir Daryl’s captivating artworks to Lady Joan’s iconic novel, “Picnic at Hanging Rock,” the house and gardens of Mulberry Hill echo with the enchanting spirit of Australian art and literature.  We are always happy to hear from interested Volunteers especially to assist with the gardens and guiding. 

Mulberry Hill is located at 385 Golf Links Road, Langwarrin South on Bunurong/Boon Wurrung Country 

McCrae Homestead

Step into the pages of history at McCrae Homestead, one of the oldest surviving houses in Victoria. Built by Andrew and Georgiana McCrae in the mid-19th century, this charming cottage reflects the challenges and triumphs of early settlers. Explore the period rooms, and discover the intriguing stories of the McCrae family, whose legacy endures in this historic gem. 

The Visitor’s Centre, located on the property, features galleries which showcase the McCrae’s art, memorabilia and the photography, artefacts and objects from the families who live at the homestead. 

Our happy group are looking for people to assist with gardening, guiding and conservation cleaning at the property. Please register your interest !
