Tiny's @ Valleyfield farm | House in Glen Huon
1 Bedroom House in Glen Huon
No-one actually knows when it was built, or by whom. It used to be surrounded by an orchard of Democrat apples on three sides, from back in the day when there were apple orchards all the way back to Huonville. It was often the person whose job it was to pick that orchard, who lived there.
It is now a fully-renovated one-bedroom cottage sitting in the heart of Valleyfield farm. We named it “Tiny’s” after the local nickname of the much-loved, diminutive (and likely longest-tenured) tenant.
It was nearly falling down already, in places. Joists were rotting. Weatherboards were back to bare timber and unpainted for over 20 years. A tacked-on bathroom with a too-low ceiling and off-kilter floor gave the most recent ‘wing’ of the place a “crazy-house” feel.
We considered tearing it down, but we’re so glad we didn’t. It’s been a struggle, but we’re thrilled to have preserved this link to the past.
Locally, this little house has been known as “Miss Havisham’s” (referencing the neglected abode of the Great Expectations character), “the Mustard Pot” (it was once that crazy colour), and most recently, simply “the hovel”, as it decayed under decades of neglect.
Valleyfield has seen six generations of the same family since it was established in the 1860s by pioneers living on the southern alluvial flats of the mighty Huon River, before there was even a bridge connecting them to the north.

* Acknowledgement.
The Melukurdee people used to take a trail through what is now Valleyfield, over Lane’s Hill at the top of the farm, to Franklin. This relatively short walk gave them access to different food sources at opposite ends of the journey, as the river snakes around those hills and changes from freshwater to tidal, salty waters along the way. Our family’s history includes stories of the Melukurdee people stopping by the houses to ask for pins, which they would fashion into fishing hooks.
We’re proud of the farm’s heritage. We’re not proud of the fact that this is stolen land.
