Details: Kings Plains Station was settled by John and William Vivers, brothers who emigrated from Dumfries, Scotland. It is comprised of over 60 thousand acres that by 1850 had 1,300 cattle, 12,500 sheep and 57 horses. John went back to Queensland while William ran the farm. He died in a wool press accident in 1857. Dr. George Vivers, grandson of John Vivers built the castle in 1910 for his wife to feel more at home. Architect Herbert Ross used baronial architecture finishing with 28 rooms on three levels, complete with tower and battlements. The granite for the foundation and basement were quarried from a hill nearby and the bricks were made on the property. Kings Plains Castle has hosted three governors of New South Wales and even the Prince of Wales during the early 1920s.
