THE MYSTERY AND HISTORY OF HUMBEL BEGGININGS. 

Dating back to approximately 1865, are two service buildings considered to be a bakery and horse stables that serviced the local community of O.B. Flat. Following church congregation on Sundays, the community believed to have travelled back from Mount Gambier by horse and cart to this location where they would share tiffin & tidings as well as gather supplies for the week ahead before traveling on further to what once would have been considered remote farming homesteads. 

This significant history of early settler's life is often forgotten by some however the decrepit crumbling building ruins we often see in passing remind us of how the population of our area started and how life would have been. It takes special type of people who truly appreciate our rich history to see potential and repurpose of old building, then take on the monumental task of their resurrection. How thankful we should be that this property has two old buildings that will now see another 100 years.
