History
Highland Valley was built in 1923 by William Noah Hedges (one of Australia's early federal politicians), in the tradition of the Grand Australian Homestead. High pressed metal ceilings, with each room having a different pattern, wide verandas and breezeways (which are typical of the northern Australian outback homesteads), are some of the features that make this homestead unique in the southwest of Western Australia.
The homestead and outbuildings were the hub of the 4916 hectare (12150 acre) property. Extensive landscaping and gardens were established around the homestead including what was possibly one of the first lawn tennis courts in the southwest.
Highland Valley was well known for its tennis and garden parties and remained a private residence.
