Birch Cottage


The Andrew Ross Museum in association with Parks Victoria has been busy over recent months researching and documenting Birch’s Cottage, a 100 year-old cottage built on a miner’s right on the old Kangaroo-Christmas Hills Road, seen as the last surviving example of its type.

The Museum is having an Open Day on Sunday 21 October at 2 pm. There will be an entertaining hour of audio-visual display, good conversation and light refreshment.
