Cobbledicks Ford from the air 2000ft
This photo depicts the Cobbledicks Ford crossing of the Werribee River. The name Cobbledicks Ford comes from the Cobbledicks Family who were tenant farmers for the Staughton Family who owned the Eynesbury Homestead.
This crossing built from local bluestone was laid down in 1852, the same time that the crossing below the Chirnside Estate (now Werribee Park) was also installed. The crossing at Werribee Park is still totally intact. The crossing at Cobbledicks Ford has been damaged by trucks and other road traffic.
The remains of the Cobbledicks family home located at the top of the hill are still there for all to see. -
