Werribee Mansion Sky

This artwork by Kerrie Gottliebsen celebrates the majestic Werribee Park Mansion built between 1874 and 1877 by pastoralists Thomas Chirnside (1815-1887) and his brother Andrew Chirnside (1818-1890), from Scotland. The stunning gardens and buildings are the backdrop to many wonderful memories for thousands of people. Whether it be weddings, picnics, music events or polo, the area brings people together to unwind, connect and celebrate.

From 1923 to 1973, Werribee Park Mansion was a Catholic seminary, Corpus Christi College. The wings, which are now the Mansion Hotel were added during that period. For thousands of years before European settlement began, the area that is now the City of Wyndham was a place of particular importance to local Aboriginal people.  The Wathaurong, Woiwurrung and Boonwurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation are the Traditional Owners of the lands on which Wyndham City is built.
