WHEN THE ORIGINAL GERMAN SETTLERS ARRIVED AT JINDERA FROM ADELAIDE BY WAGONS IN 1867 THEY FOUND THE WATTLE AND DAUB COTTAGE EXACTLY WHERE IT IS NOW, ( IN THE GROUNDS OF THE JINDERA MUSEUM ), WHICH MEANS THAT THIS COTTAGE COULD DATE BACK TO THE 1840'S, WHICH CERTAINLY MAKES IT THE OLDEST REMAINING ORIGINAL COTTAGE OR HOUSE IN THE ENTIRE ALBURY DISTRICT. You may see inside this cottage today and it really brings back the hard times the pioneers put up with.
