WILLIAM ISON'S HOUSE, BULBAN
Born in Cambridge, England, William Ison arrived in the colony at the height of the gold rush. He went up to the diggings first, but after nearly losing his life in a mining accident came down to Werribee to take up farming.
A community-minded fellow, Ison also worked for many years for Thomas Chirnside, building miles of fencing. Chirnside had told Mr. Hamilton, his manager, to always have work for William Ison.
On thirty acres of land near the Black Forest Swamp on Bulban Road, William Ison constructed a wattle and daub house using mud taken from the swamp. The mud contained fossils which were of archeological interest. However, this significant and unusual early settler's home, which was classified by the National Trust, was demolished without a permit in 2002. -
