De La Salle boys have been helping College Archivist David Hunter with surveying work seeking remains of Fairlight (built 1889) and Kinnoull (built 1855) homesteads. Kinnoull, the homestead upon which De La Salle senior campus stands, is believed to have had an eastern facade and circular driveway near the site of the current Kinnoull Oval. Patrick Collins, Izaak Madsen (Year 7), and Daniel Currie and Alex Sly (Year 9) helped excavate the fenceline between Fairlight and Northbrook (Northbrook was built in 1889 and still stands behind the Malvern library). An electrical resistance survey carried out found the support columns of the fence prior to excavation. Izaak Madsen also helped in surveying Kinnoull Oval in search of Kinnoull’s driveway. Melbourne Metropolitan Board of Works (MMBW) plans dating from 1900 were used. These plans clearly show Kinnoull and Fairlight. Using the modern landscape (i.e. the location of surrounding roads) and archaeology, we were able to determine where Kinnoull once stood in relation to the modern landscape.
