Carome Homestead and former Wollert Church

Carome Homestead consists of the remnants of one of Victoria’s earliest flour mills, an 1860s bluestone farmhouse and associated farm buildings, as well as the former Wollert Methodist Church which was relocated to the site in 2022.

We were appointed manager of the property in 2009, undertaking a broad range of conservation works on the dilapidated farmhouse which helped facilitate the site as a place of enjoyment for the whole community.

• Mernda Community Garden at Carome currently utilises a portion of the former homestead paddocks.

• The property is consistently open to the community.
• The property is located within the broader Plenty Gorge Parklands, so please take care of the wildlife – and watch out for snakes.
• The former Wollert Church is available for community hire.

The church building is suitable for group events, meetings, school groups, seminars, product launches and art exhibitions and can cater for between 20-50 people. The building is also available for commercial hire.

Working Heritage acknowledges that the Carome Homestead sits on the land traditionally owned by the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples.
