Burramine

Burramine, 7 km west of Yarrawonga in north-eastern Victoria, is on the site of one of the State's oldest pastoral homesteads. In 1842 Elizabeth Hume, the widowed sister-in-law of Hamilton Hume, took up the Yarroweyah, or Yarrawonga, pastoral run. Her homestead, built of hand-made bricks and Murray pine, was named Byramine, reputedly derived from an Aboriginal word.
