LaTrobe and Hislop
In 1846 LaTrobe was appointed Acting Administrator of Van Diemen's Land. There was a shortage of well-educated men in the colony so LaTrobe sent for George Hislop who had lived at Jolimont since 1840. George, with his wife Elisabeth and two children, George and Annie, travelled to Hobart. There the two younger children, William and Louise were born. In 1853, George and Elizabeth Hislop bought land in Doncaster on the site of the Bus Depot in Doncaster Road.Source: 1975 11 DTHS Newsletter

Heritage Inventory History of Site: Two orchards owned & planted in 1870s by George Hislop and Gottlieb Leber.When George Hislop died his wife ran the orchard. Hislop had also manufactured bricks in Doncaster.
Site consists of two orchards developed from the 1870s onward (mostly apple and pear trees). Site bounded by Robinson's Crt, Mitcham and Park Roads, Donvale. Site also features natural gully which runs N-S between two orchards.
Heritage Inventory Interpretation: Site comprises the remains of two orchards which were planted in the 1870s. Trees mostly apple and pear. No apparent drains constructed. 1945 aerial photo suggests there was a large packing shed immediately N of eastern dam. Now completely removed and no cellar or foundation apparent. Area has been levelled. Dams most likely date to 1890s drought period and Pine windbreaks also thought to date to this period.
Heritage Inventory Significance: Local cultural heritage significance, as the site is the remains of one of the earlier (1870s) orchards in Doncaster - Templestowe - Donvale area. Site contributes to history of local orcharding, though it is a poor example of its kind (most trees are dead and removed)
Heritage Inventory Site Features: Lines show obvious upraised mounds where fruit trees were originally planted. Octagons show lines of Pinus Insignus trees which are planted either as windbreaks or to mark property boundaries. Two larger squares indicate dam area, eastern one of which is still present, while western one appears to have been filled in.
