Dolly, as I am sure you are aware, took her own life in 2018, at the age of 14, as a result of constant bullying.
As a result, the foundation was formed to try to stop young people taking their own lives, knowing now that there is help they can seek instantly.
Tick and Kate Everett have been known to our family for over eight years and are the godparents of my son Jack and daughter-in-law Kim's eldest son Mac Harries.
The homestead, built in 1826, is the first home built by William Lawson Jnr, son of William Lawson the explorer.
We are also led to believe that it was also lived in by William Icely Lawson, he being the third generation of Lawsons.
Extensive renovations have been undertaken over the years to improve the homestead; 22 rooms originally existed in the homestead.
The plan is to host visitors who will be able to wander through the original part and some of the new extension of the homestead.
