Ormiston’s Claim to Fame
Named after a village in Scotland, Ormiston is recognised as the birth-place of the Australian sugar industry. Back in the 1850s, Scottish aristocrat Captain Louis Hope began farming sugar cane in the rich, red soil.
It proved to be a prosperous venture and within a decade, he commenced building the heritage-listed Ormiston House. The historic house on Wellington Street is a classic example of colonial architecture and is open to the public on selected Sunday afternoons throughout the year.
The cane fields have now been replaced by quiet streets with quality residential homes.
