Index of Heritage Listings in Spring Bay
 In 1860 Spring Bay was declared a municipality. The local Council chambers were built in 1862. Today known as Triabunna the area is "surprisingly ordinary": a town for fishermen and timber workers rather than a place full of interesting history, although the Spring Bay Hotel, a rather modern building, does claim on its from that it is circa 1838.

SB1. Rostrevor Farm & Stables, 8731 Tasman Highway Triabunna TAS
 Established in early 1830's Rostrevor Estate has had a long history with the nearby town of Triabunna. At one stage the Estate was owned by Captain Michael Vicary of Her Majesty's 63rd Regiment.   After 1973 when all the fruit trees were removed, the property returned to prime grazing and wool growing, with as many as 7000 head of sheep. > > > '**Rostrevor**' today has retained all of the main features from when it was a large production orchard.   It has different generation packing sheds, different generation cool stores,   See more of these photographs at: [|Rostrevor Estate - an album on Flickr] - @https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterhut/sets/72157635966829504/   '**Rostrevor**' has excellent preservation of apple-related features (although no orchards survive); the antiquity of the property generally and many of the other farming features; and for its association in the orcharding period with Henry Jones, and to a lesser extent with other well known orchardists such as the Frankcombs of 'Clifton', Ranelagh;   'Rostrevor' was the only major commercial orchard in the Eastern region. It was established initially as a general farm property in the 1800s. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13.28px;">

 * Capt. Vicary died in 1867 and is buried in the Family Homestead Graveyard at Rostrevor, as are other family members.
 * From 1903 until 1973 fruit growing on Rostrevor was an important industry. This used to be the largest apple and pear orchard in the southern hemisphere.
 * The packing sheds, buildings, stables and fresh natural pasture are largely as they were left at the end of the apple and pear orchard era.
 * The orchard was owned by Henry Jones and Co and in its heyday was one of the largest in the southern hemisphere.
 * By 1971 only 50 acres of trees remained. At one time there were 16 houses on Rostrevor which were occupied rent free by permanent workers.
 * Rostrevor still has its historical outlook with old stone stables, machinery and cool rooms dating back to the orchard days.
 * It also has the historic 1,100 megalitre Rostrevor Lagoon that was originally constructed in 1914.
 * Today and for three generations they have a vibrant mainly wool growing farm with famous merino breed of sheep.
 * More than just a sheep farm the property encompasses many of the earliest European settlement history of the area including spring, quarry, the original Okehampton settlement, pristine beaches, pastures and more.
 * the original still with its cooling plant,
 * a 'timber shed', stables, tanks, and remains of irrigation systems,
 * as well as the earlier 19th century farm features such as early workers houses, other farm sheds and a shearing shed, all in relatively good condition.
 * Established in early 1830's Rostrevor Estate has had a long history with the nearby town of Triabunna.
 * Purchased in 1903 by a partnership of Henry Jones, T. A. Frankcomb and E. A. Peacock in 1903, by the 1930s the property had become one of the largest orchards in Australia, and one of the largest in the southern hemisphere.
 * The property had 500 acres of land planted out to plum, pear and apple orchard.
 * Henry Jones, of Henry Jones & Co., was at the time controlling one ofthe two major jam factories in Hobart and had a major interest in overseas apple export.
 * The success of the venture was due in large part to the more suitable weather of Triabunna for pome fruit growing, innovations such as irrigation to cope with the dry periods, astute management, and the better transport facilities established by this century.

 * In 1903 the property began a transformation from sheep, cattle and horses into what was to become the largest commercial orchard in Australia under the ownership of Henry Jones and Co.
 * Henry Jones' orchard, 'Rostrevor', was a large and unusual orchard for the east coast. 'Rostrevor' is known to have had a number of employees who lived on the property, and in its peak was the largest employer in the Spring Bay area.
 * It relied on horses to work in the orchard and transport the fruit to the jetty. Clydesdale horses were used to pull wagons of fresh fruit to the Triabunna jetty.
 * The cases were then loaded on to the SS Koomee/a, the SS Moonah, Loongana and the Terralinna, for transport to the Hobart wharves, and unloaded there, some going to the factory for canning or jam and the rest loaded onto overseas ships to Liverpool, Hamburg, Stockholm and Gothenburg (Norway).
 * Rostrevor Estate's value as a prime grazing and wool growing property was realized in 1973 when, along with 7,000 sheep and 400 cattle it changed hands to the current family ownership.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13.28px;"> The property now boasts around 1,600 hectares of improved land and a perfect combination of modern agricultural conveniences in a scenic historical setting. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13.28px;"> From 1914, water was supplied to the 'Rostrevor' orchards from a large dam by way of a water race to the northern orchard and by pipes to the western and southern orchards. The water had to be pumped from the dam. Rostrevor Reservoir, when full, covers an area of around 35 hectares > The water was directed through the orchard by Bill Sparkes, an expert on 'running' irrigation channels. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13.28px;"> Cattle, sheep and wool from the property have an enviable reputation in the market place, and the standard of fencing, the quality of the pastures, and the fertilizer history are second to none. All this in combination with the mild coastal climate and proximity to Triabunna and the Tasman Highway.
 * Old stone stables, machinery and hay shedding, super shed, huge packing and storage sheds, 2 cool rooms, and a 4 stand raised board shearing shed with under cover yards are all gathered in a central station area sheltered by massive Oak, Elm, and Ash trees.
 * There are also 7 houses on the property including the 22 year old main 4 bedroom homestead.
 * Two 12 hectare pivot sites are watered by both reuse water from the Triabunna township and from a 575 megalitre water right from the historic 1,100 megalitre Rostrevor Lagoon that was originally constructed in 1914.
 * Rostrevor dam was built on Henry Jones' big orcharding property in 1914 at a cost of 3 000 pounds and held 90 000 000 gallons of water for flood irrigation of the expanding orchards[[image:https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/rDrxo3_nXMy-HjGP_OvRu4MZVaglNUlhln4DC02tniNtjPu1A7cqYK_mVjmbsb8P0FwoE5JU0E7MhPB1ihbQhfwZMgaw-MPVCA4lMUsKWeGDL5pFBy_me_DOdMnH42ebcBSEsZN3QiL9wXfnZu9mzv8NbaI3PgnUm_db3Ef_GrBvca2LnxcunOk6ktUuCFUOaofm43QxM1H1qqPEx-Wk0o8D9Z6DaIiVbE-Cym0ZRVJ7wqU_LpxS_66A_515Th4xdT1cEh3GoMKao30jdAda73OHTV6twtHAX3Q7YVEgSvwtsm_oP_y96y5c4g6NALCC_QKhAd8n9YGC42N-LvDDtxp1ECs89WfGRzcEYHLSPKZDEa_p9_yOkvA1tufeWsBFocpuCfH45NVvrMlb_F4CEYYcF5lIYnthcC5tZ2sehrq_prP0G1MX7lnom75jcT00IkmlPSrRyRZcpZVuywGbO_zwcwgMxO3H969QWDfGbHkr0tnu0D6aDtCptKeO0j74bb-Cnf8Qh9tVYgTo4TdxNpOOwZs_ZnsfZG8u-uSkR8b2DQ-FKlT4PejyUklIxkCyY0ivNbbzDjRbQCFc1pDyCHo7nsDXh3puvJdVVr4e-WkMF7d1ow=w400-h300-no width="420" height="319" align="right" caption="Access improved at Rostrevor Lagoon" link="@http://www.ifs.tas.gov.au/news/access-improved-at-rostrevor-lagoon"]]
 * Jack Paton an engineer, said the steam centrifugal pump at the dam came from the Beaconsfield gold mine and could pump 40 000-45 000 gallons per hour. It had a Babcock and Woolcock water tube boiler fired with wood, a compound engine with box cycling of 28 ins and a stroke of 4 ft. The 12 ft cast iron wheel weighed 12 tons and the intake pipe of 12 ins was often blocked by eels.
 * A contract was let to local woodcutters for the supply of the wood for the steam boiler.
 * On the hill above the dam, a device with an ann indicated when water had reached the open races [that] contoured around the hill.
 * With a fast team of horses and a plough he made a furrow into which the water flowed behind him.
 * To remove the excess water the drains built in 1904 were slabbed at the sides with timber, covered with short decking and then with sufficient soil to enable the ground to be ploughed. Later, earthenware and iron pipes were used.
 * Whilst IFS staff were on site installing the Rostrevor lagoon access infrastructure they undertook some ‘market research’ and fished the lagoon late one afternoon and early the next morning. Brown trout to 1kg readily accepted wet flies and bibbed lures particularly around the weedbeds. The lagoon has also been stocked with rainbow trout.

It looked east, to where the sun rose each morning above granite mountains called the Hazards, across the bay; lavender peaks which always suggested the remote South Sea islands….” (p.60) [[image:https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/WDLEb2BomuLqbbrhhBttGuQfx9_NFXqbbzURdnlTBGPX6k-xv8scbC7fyAPz_8adtMIS8NmJ8nKtxxdoY567MtVmKKrpOety9MBRb1u7t5tEhCRAOgCMUYJeZELs7QznqEh9ITZA9QgjVZEl_XWiV_3yK4mtSPlMJ7mnecPAOZw7tK_T14OY-WXMefjbdH5SiG9K7U-X-g4cn2C8Zstz8QuV-Fg2RGJgfiV9k0-VOGrGV3UZ9N4E--px4WvMSTxQ_SapoDKeKj61ecyus5GoVVORXqrf_kgBiVzjESuznRT1L5Sx_QO6BNaeIBiyWt31d9pv9fw6WGiefCqQWp9uulFr62N47asB4vrgYQsRpJcPgj3EtEI8i_pPZ_tm4OYtEIghiV_rrItMkVNhlS0sSVehuUr_a9QNOtNdFIKjCWP8Szl6M05CPQNh_002QAZ1FsXWsw2fB4O1pKqg-LB_HTX8alvIu0bMSz5AzRywFGIgqBk4AulfCceFdJB_giPKW6_3Wmdk7FoXmKZLIWgVS4H0kKRrDkyTm7dY-s6XTnBqs3AuWGgP_0eiK31gJy8r315QQ8dewDKiwUR133TI19sPB2khoE8emTwWM_TfSEBO3cIrvN60Fw=w788-h426-no width="477" height="260" align="right" caption="Indicative Swansea seascape"]]
 * For what must be one of the original dwellings on the East Coast, Coswell has stood the test of time. The thick external walls are peeling but still mostly solid. The original shingle roof was replaced a long time ago with a tin roof but apart from the addition of modern plumbing and electricity to replace the kerosene lamps, the house remains as it was.
 * I do need to add that the land entitled Coswell and including Piermont increased to 1900 acres and extended from the foreshore to the western town boundary, backing onto what was once part of the Redbanks property. Sections were gradually sold so that Coswell now denotes 130 acres again along the foreshore.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13.28px;"> "The farm seems only to have consisted of a few sheep, cows and pigs and many roaming fowls."

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13.28px;"> "Coswell is a rarity. The core of the house remains an example of what at one time must have been the most common kind of dwelling that was built." <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13.28px;"> **Statement of Significance:** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13.28px;"> Coswell is of historic cultural heritage significance as one of the oldest surviving houses in this part of the east coast of Tasmania. > <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13.28px;">**Description:** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13.28px;"> Coswell is a single storey (plus attic) brick and brick nogged house designed in the Old Colonial Georgian style.
 * "A simple solid little four-roomed cottage was the simplest and fastest home for many of the early settlers to build.
 * Coswell also sits on a glorious piece of land that must be so valuable. Lets hope it can continue to be maintained. It is a precious piece of Tasmania’s history."
 * The use of brick nogging as a construction method is rare.
 * 'Coswell' is of historic heritage significance because of its ability to demonstrate the principal characteristics of a single storey Old Colonial Georgian rural homestead with associated outbuilding."
 * It has a hipped roof, verandah to the front, decorative fascia to the verandah, tall brick chimneys, small paned double hung windows, and side and rear extensions. There is also a timber ruin nearby.
 * ARCHITECTURAL STYLE:- Old Colonial Georgian
