Knox's Rockhill Farm

Leongatha.

Knox's Rockhill Farm, built in 1926, is a complex of farm and dairy buildings on a hill side at the south of the Nerrena Road Leongatha, it is now abandoned and run down.
There are a pair of cylindrical concrete block silos with castellated tops and are capped with shallow water tanks, their interior is rendered.
Water was pumped from a large in-ground storage tank to the water tanks in the silos from where it was reticulated throughout the complex.

It was difficult to get a clear view as it was surrounded by gum trees, it's on private property so we couldn't get a closer view.

I really like this close-up capture of the dilapidated farm! I'm guessing those are silos, eh? They remind me of something that should be part of a castle! V

These old farmsteads have a lot of character and beauty even in their decay. Super shot. V

Must have been quite an operation in it's day.
