HISTORY
Marytrickle is a two bedroom self contained apartment attached to the Maryburn homestead. Marytrickle was built in the 70s and known as the ‘A Frame’ for the three Murray brothers as a dormitory style bedroom upstairs and downstairs as a games room.
The Maryburn homestead was demolished and rebuilt in 2002, the ‘A Frame’ endured and the new homestead was attached to it. The ‘A Frame’ was then used as the Maryburn school for correspondence learning with the upstairs blocked off.
It was then turned into two bedrooms downstairs with the upstairs still blocked off. In 2019 the ‘A Frame’ was renovated and modernised to become Marytrickle as we know it today.
