Imagine the challenges of raising a family in a tent. Then imagine building a home from scratch. Alfred Stutchbery built Stuchbury Farm Hut and its outbuildings around 1896. They developed an orchard a market garden and a dairy. Stuchbury Farm thrived. The family contributed to the local Methodist and tennis communities. Their grandson Walter opened the Flying Scotsman Model Railway Museum in Yarrambat. A true family contribution to the community. Walter later sold part of the land for development. In 1990 the remaining land became part of Plenty Gorge Park. The Stuchbury Farm Hut remains. A stone dairy a pig sty and a well are remnants of the farm.
