It is significant to Victoria's history in that it was the site of the first European agricultural activity. The island has been farmed since the 1850's. It is open to the public as an historic working farm. The restored farmhouse, cottages and outbuildings gives a glimpse into the lives of the early Australian settlers. For an old settlement the farm it is remarkably accessible with well graded paths allowing wheelchair access to all but one of the historic buildings.  The visitors centre has  accessible toilet facilities and a licensed cafe with views over Western Port Bay.
