Woolmers Estate
Woolmers Estate is situated near Longford Tasmania, Australia twenty-five minutes from Launceston. The Estate has outstanding cultural significance because it represents a continuous association with the Thomas Archer family, providing an encapsulated record of six generations, and the changes to their lifestyle, from the time the land was first settled circa 1817 to the death of the last heir in 1994.
