Historical information
Dugald McPherson's Ashen's Homestead (Remnants) c1920’s
Ashen's south of Murtoa was one of the area's original squatting runs.
This photo taken in the 1920's shows the homestead after a violent storm had been through the area.
In 1853, the country around Ashen's was covered by timber, she-oaks, bull-oaks, light gum and box thickets of ti-tree and clumps of pine and wattles.
The vegetation was so thick outside the horse paddock it was difficult to move in any direction. It was said McPherson and two others fought over the land.
