Fair The land on which this residence is located was part of a landholding of 21 acres purchased by Herbert George Sherborne (1916-2005) and his wife Evelyn May Sherborne (1919-2010). Herbert Sherborne, previously employed as a clerk enlisted at age 25 and served with the Royal Australian Air Force during World War II and returned to Australia in 1944. Sherborne established a small mixed farm on the property including cows, sheep and poultry. The couple originally lived in a small two roomed fibro cottage which has since been added to in stages since then. A wattle and daub cottage that was previously on the site was destroyed by fire.
