Mangalore

Wybra Hall, Oakwood and Marlbrook form a string of gracious, private and historic homes along the Heritage Highway at Mangalore which are included in a newly proclaimed heritage precinct.  They are also the legacy of an area that became prosperous from wheat growing in the early nineteenth century.

Slow down and admire from teh road Wybra Hall; it was built about 1860 and the owner then returned to England where he was married. He and his wife were on their way back to this beautiful and elaborate home when their ship was wrecked and they both perished. 

The highway follows its original route, Bell's Line of Road, through Mangalore.
