Casterton’s ‘Birth Place of the Kelpie’ title is entrenched in the history of Warrock Homestead and the Robertson, Patterson, Larkins and Farquharson families. From its earliest days of settlement and self sufficiancy in 1843 to our present day Warrock’s historical journey, aura, development, heritage preservation has intrigued locals and historians alike.

Casterton Connections is thrilled over coming weeks to present a mini series of interviews which unpack a little of the characters, facts, lived experiences and stories synonymous with settlement, farming and our Kelpie fame.

Local author Adam Robertson’s is honoured to kick off the Warrock series which reflects on his research and conversations with Mrs Jess Flanders that culminated in his book ‘ A Life Built Worth Settling For …. Warrock Station ‘ being published in 2018.
