Summary

Homestead, Green Patch Station. The old home was the property of the Sinclair family since it was built by Mr James Sinclair in 1853 who arrived from the Isle of Aran in Scotland on board the "Indus" in 1839. He transferred his wife, three children and 1,880 sheep overland from Nairne to Port Lincoln. He lost half of the sheep to coast disease. He first settled near Coffin Bay but later moved to Uley. Green Patch homestead had a slate roof that was later replaced with galvanised iron. Post from the wrap around verandah can be seen in the photograph which shows the two storey home positioned on a slight rise in a scrubby landscape.
