Ripponlea is one of the last privately owned estates in Melbourne. It has since been converted to a National Trust where people can visit to observe what life of the wealthy had been like during the 19th century.
I’ve always loved old-style houses, especially estates because I marvel at the grounds. I would have loved to have been a child growing up in a house like this.
Many of the photos taken inside the house are blurry because I wasn’t allowed to use a flash. This was back before I got the Casio Exilim, and I didn’t know how to toggle with the ISO settings. You can still get a pretty good idea of what it was like to living in an estate back then.
