Geocache Description:

A quick two stage multi highlighting one of the historic homes in the city..  There is parking on the verge opposite the house, but be careful the road can be busy.

Hymus House & Outbuildings, a Victorian bungalow style house constructed of vuggy lacustrine limestone and a roof clad in corrugated galvanised iron, together with outbuildings including Workers’ Quarters and Dairy, has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons:
  • the place is a visually prominent element in the East Rockingham landscape, and is a landmark on Mandurah Road;
  • the place is a rare example of a vuggy lacustrine limestone structure, a local construction material commonly used in the East Rockingham area until the post-World War Two period.

The House is now the offices for a Transport Company that has restored the residence as part of its relocation to this area.
