HISTORY:
The original Redbank Village located in the vicinity of the homestead dates back to 1828
when an Inn and a store were established. In 1834 a hospital was built on this particular
property. The property passed through a few hands, being held by the Davies family until it
was later purchased by William & Minnie Badgery in 1920. The existing house dates back to
this period. It was the Badgery family who began breeding horses and the stud began. Wakefield Stud was also the proud breeder of Subzero, the winner of the 1992 Melbourne Cup.
