About this Event
In 1914 pastoralist and benefactor Peter Waite gifted his Urrbrae estate including the mansion house to the University of Adelaide to develop research and education in agricultural science. On this guided tour of Urrbrae House, you will hear about the life and times Peter (1834-1922), his wife Matilda (1836-1922) and their family. You will also learn about some of the unique features of the house. Did you know Urrbrae House was the first home in Adelaide to have electricity? The tour takes about 75 minutes. Before or after the tour you may enjoy the gardens and adjacent Waite Arboretum at your leisure at no charge. This tour is presented by University of Adelaide staff and volunteers.
