- Notes
- The Commonwealth resumed Gungahlin in 1915 but Everard Crace, son of Edward, leased the homestead block. The house was later leased by historian Dr. Frederick Watson. The CSIRO took over the property in 1953 and established a field research station. The CSIRO still occupies the homestead which is located in the area bounded by Bellenden Street, Gungahlin Drive and the Barton Highway.
