Gunn's Cottage

From the early 1930s to the mid 1940s, the Gunn family lived in Ericdale, a house situated near the Pyramids. In 1940, second son Jack Gunn, bought Frank Wright's property that was located further up the road, towards Wallangarra. Several years later, Napier "Boy" Gunn bought this same block from his son and relocated a house from Glen Aplin to where it still stands today - opposite the Girraween Visitor Information Centre.

The Gunn family lived in this house until 1965, when they sold to the government. Appropriately-named Gunn's Cottage was then used by park staff to live in. The building is currently used for slide shows and other educational purposes.

For more information about the people who once lived and worked in Girraween, see our History section...
