 Their farm proved successful and in 1928 they built Blyth Homestead as an outstation a little further south, so their cattle could take advantage of the good grazing among the paperbarks in this area.Typical of other structures of that time, the homestead is supported with cypress pine tied together with heavy wire and covered with corrugated iron.The family was able to farm their own vegetable and fruit crops, and held up to 13,500 head of cattle, due to the permanent water nearby.
