Nil desperandum

“…….
Tho’ many cities I have seen, now I dwell neath the blue gum tree
Nor change would I for palace walls my home in forest free.
Nil Desperandum is its motto – always mine in days that’s past
I’ve graved it on my homestead flag, and nailed it to the mast.”

Built in 1895 for Henry Ffrench Gillman, an Irish poet and grazier who christened it Nil Desperandum.
