Stone ruins


Stone ruins stand beside the road along with a monument which displays the following text:

This plaque overlooks Langwoornar Station.

It is dedicated to the late Robinson & Mary Ann Cocks who settled on the Station in 1852.

It was bounded by the Wild Duck Creek, Campaspe River & extended south to Mia Mia township. The family sold Langwoornar Station in 1888 & Robinson became the Heathcote Magistrate.

Robinson Cocks Junior purchased the neighbouring property Kimbolton in 1889. It sold in 1898 and he then purchased Northwood Park, Seymour Vic.

David & Hunter Cocks, Canberra.
