Today is our last day in Wauchope. Joy had to work until midday and after a very yummy lunch we heded back into Port Macquarie for one last time. This time it was visit the Koala Hospital and there just happened to be two koala sculptures as well as several rehabilitating koala.
On the same site is an historic family home, Roto House, that belonged to John Flynn and his family. This house was built in the 1891 and is an excellent example of Victorian architecture and use of local timbers such as mahogany. The Flynn family remained In the house until 1976 when it was fully restored by the National Parks and Wildlife Service and opened to the public. It is certainly worth visit. We were impressed with just how cool it was inside without the aid of modern air conditioners.
This link has an excellent virtual tour of the house.
