With the sale of historic “Dunrath” at West Pennant Hills now finalised, the former owners are selling off the contents at an on site Auction Sale on 7th and 8th of April and Rotary has been asked to provide refreshments on both days.
Dunrath has been a district landmark since about 1939 when Captain de Groot of Sydney Harbour Bridge fame moved the 1850s stone from Bellevue Hill to its present site.
In later years the property has been owned by famed artist William Dobell and later by radio personality Barry Spicer. Since 1975 the property has been home to the McMillan family.
The Rotary Club of The Hills-Kellyville will be doing a BBQ with sausage sandwiches and steak sandwiches on sale and the ladies of Baulkham Hills Inner Wheel Club will be offering their famous Devonshire Teas on the rear lawn.
“We will be open for business from 10 am on Saturday and from 9 am on the Sunday morning,” Mr Stapley, spokesman for the club told The Times this week. “Mr McMillan has been a very generous supporter of our Rotary Club over the years and now we have our final chance to use this magnificent property to raise more funds for local and overseas charities “ he continued.
Details of the auction and a catalogue can be found at www.lawsons.com.au.
