The landscape and design of the estate reflects the
creativity of Sir Henry Kelliher who was a patron of
the arts, having established the Kelliher Art Awards
in 1956. He was a generous donor to many charitable
causes, and in recognition of his work as an industrial
leader and philanthropist he was knighted in 1963.
Kelliher Estate was his residence from the 1950’s up
until his passing in 1991. The Spanish Mission
Homestead was restored to its former glory by The
Kelliher Charitable trust in 2007.

How can I help to support our community?
Montana Group has supported the community since 2002 with sponsorships and donations to many
organisations and communities. How can we extend this practice outside of work? Spread the word of
your favourite local businesses, volunteer, tidy up - pick up litter and start gardening to make your
local area a nice place to live, help your neighbours, donate things, get involved with our community.

                                                       It only has 1,626 people!

As you’ll notice the Flame Tree platters are a huge
hit at our functions and are becoming a signature of
ours. Amazing work team!
