Parkview

DESCRIPTION

NameParkviewTypeFarmResidenceDescriptionJohn (Jack) Dudgeon (son of Hugh Dudgeon) with the help of his sons, Max, Ray, Tom and Ron established a quality herd at ‘Parkview’ in 1924 from the family’s 'Hillview' stud at Jamberoo. Members of the Dudgeon family remained at 'Parkview' for 136 years, until the farm was sold in 1991.

The founder of the Dudgeon breed of cattle which became foremost in the Illawarra a century later, Hugh Dudgeon, arrived with his wife and sons, Hugh, John and Simon, at Kiama in 1855 and took a clearing lease on Saddleback Mountain, growing maize after felling scrub, and buying two cows which began the herd.

A public tribute was paid to the century’s work of the Dudgeon family at the Albion Park Show in 1956, in the presence of George Grey and a host of noted cattle breeders.
