Restoration Australia

Emmaville (1x5)

Uitzenddatum: Sep 29, 2015

Is the cottage Emmaville the long lost birth place of legendary bush poet and composer of ‘Waltzing Matilda’, Banjo Patterson? Whether it is or isn’t, this cottage is one of the oldest in the colony and the unique style of architecture should be saved. Luckily, the locals have banded together under the leadership of Reg to save it from demolition and restore it to its original glory. With the cottage precariously sited on the edge of footy oval and under threat from developers, the community must rally together and act quickly, lifting and transporting it to a new resting place, next to the city’s botanic garden. However, the clock is already ticking as the restoration needs to be completed in time to celebrate Banjo’s 150th Birthday, only a year away.
