History

The Old Wallace Shop was originally built in the mid to late 1800s by a Mr. Holden as a steam chaff cutting and hydraulic hay pressing business. His son Mr G F Holden continued to run the business after his father�s retirement. The business held the contract to supply the Australian Army with chaff for the horses. The chaff mills were originally located to the right of the shop but were removed in the mid 1900s. The shop was a general store, post office and bank. A regular meeting place for the locals after church on Sundays. The renovation of the house and surrounding gardens continues.
