Nangunia Station, Berrigan, NSW, Australia

Historic Nangunia Station at Berrigan NSW was built in 1907 and is rich in local history and originally part of a 100 000 ha, 19th century squatter’s license. The landmark cropping and grazing property is dominated by the large stately station homestead that stands out as a working farm of 1803 ha (4456 Ac) It includes large workshops and machinery sheds with grain silos for 6500 tonnes of storage capacity. Nangunia Station is approached from a long gravel driveway with stands of native and exotic trees and an avenue of mature weeping Peppercorn trees -Schinus Molle.

Notable colonial architect John North Kelly designed the large majestic station homestead and quarter-masters building in a Victorian and Edwardian style. Nangunia’s 19th century squatter’s license was granted to Emmanuel Gorman the first mayor of the Berrigan Shire and a key proponent of federation who built the homestead in 1907. Gorman, built the homestead of pressed-red triple-brickwork fired on the property. Locally milled Murray Pine flooring throughout is featured. Hipped corrugated iron rooves and innovative cast-iron verandah geometry encircle the homestead on three sides. Cast‐iron verandah-posts have serpentine pattern and lacework that give Nangunia it’s unique appearance. The front elevation is characterised by deep low sweeping bull-nose verandahs that interconnect with main roof forms. Tall rendered and heavily oxidised chimneys extend high above the central raised roof of the billiard hall and define the homesteads’ grand scale.

A curved pedimented entry portico is axial to the house but unexpectedly off-set as you walk in. Tessellated English floor tiles to the arched entrance hall. Internally, 4.2m high decorative pressed metal ceilings and deep cornices define this gentleman’s residence. Period features include 10 ornate timber and Carrara marble fireplaces and lead lighting. The homestead also has an attractive quarter-masters building with verandahs on bush posts and a subterranean wine cellar. Nangunia Station and Equity Park immediately to the west are rich in local history and mentioned in the Ned Kelly saga. Black trackers followed trails of legendary bush ranger Edward Ned Kelly (1855-1880) and his gang along the western boundary of Nangunia Station. Before losing them, they turned westwards onto Barooga Station and re-crossed the Murray River on their way back from robbing the Bank of New South Wales at Jerilderie. The Berrigan Historical Society, reveal, that, it was EJ Gorman’s mother who acted as the midwife when Ned Kelly was born in June 1855 at the Kelly’s property at Beveridge central Victoria.
