1. Glenara Marker

Inscription. Glenara was the Clark family property in Bulla. Glenara (pronounced Glenaira), was built by Alister Clark's father, Walter Clark in 1857.

The property was originally named Deep Creek after the creek that flows below it. It was probably the first place a vineyard was planted in the Sunbury region.

Alister took over the property from his brother in 1891, and Glenara became the home to Alister's rose, daffodil and nerine breeding.

The rose was found at Glenara and released after Alister's death.

Erected by Hume City Council.

Glenara was the home of Walter Clarke, pastoralist, who built up his estate to be over 4079 acres by the time of his death in 1873.

Walter was passionate about gardening. Upon his death the property appears to have been sub-divided.
