Dingley Dell Conservation Park
The restored cottage home of bush poet Adam Lindsay Gordon, set in a small coastal conservation park.
Dingley Dell was the home of Adam Lindsay Gordon, the colonial horseman and poet whose ballads made him a national figure and earned him a bust in Westminster Abbey.
The timber cottage near Port MacDonnell has been restored and furnished to evoke his brief residence in the 1860s. The surrounding conservation park protects a patch of coastal vegetation and birdlife, and short paths lead from the cottage through the bush.
