Restoration complete at Olrig
.

The only building remaining at Olrig, believed to have been built in the 1840's, is now fully restored. In the early 1990s a rear weatherboard section was destroyed by fire; substantial corrugated iron outbuildings collapsed and were demolished in early 2007. At least 25 mature trees have been removed from the site since redevelopment began. Inset shows the remaining bluestone building fenced off and boarded up in February 2007.
