History
After purchasing 80 acres of prime farm land in 2001 at Wapengo, Bill and Carolyn Killen were given an old photograph and told the original name of the holding was Ivy Hill, named after the ivy covered eucalypt in the garden.
Renovation of the two existing farm houses followed, during which a gallery was created to serve as a conduit to the public for the many accomplished artists living in the region.
Situated in the garden was a two room weatherboard cottage with a stone fireplace and chimney of corrugated iron used by loggers working in the nearby forest. The flimsy structure blew down in a storm in 2002, the pergola in the garden marks its position.
After Bill's death in 2019 Carolyn moved to another part of the Ivy Hill property, where she has built a brand new purpose built fine art gallery.
