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 has been abandoned and run down but restoration works have now commenced.
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.

Those Silos look like medieval towers. Fascinating
