DETAILS

TitleHay Cottage, Arts & Crafts, DayboroDescriptionHay Cottage is the oldest surviving privately constructed residence in the Pine Rivers area, originally built in 1869. It was originally located about half a mile off the Petrie / Terrors Creek Road at Rush Creek. It was then sold to Mr Charles Hay who, with his wife Jane, raised their family of 5 children in the cottage. Charles Hay was born in Ayrshire Scotland and his wife was from Gordonvale at North Pine. They married in 1885 and obtained an agricultural holding over 800 acres which included the worker's cottage at Rush Creek. Red cedar forms a large percentage of the timber used throughout the house with wide variations visible in the width of the internal wall planks. Red cedar was common in the area then. The flooring is straight cut from Australian Beech timbers which over the years shrunk to leave gaps (handy for sweeping the dust away), probably quite cold in winter when the winds blew. The cottage originally had a shingle roof which had to be replaced by the iron version which can be seen now. Some examples of the original shingles and nails are displayed in the cottage. In July 1989 the cottage was moved to its present location at Roderick Cruice Park by the Dayboro Lions Club and the then Pine Rivers Shire Council. It currently displays local arts and crafts, as shown in this photograph.PhotographerPine Rivers Shire CouncilCollectorPine Rivers Shire CouncilRecord typePhotographFormat typePhysicalOriginal format colourColour
