KOBEELYA<br />
Kobeelya was erected for F H Piesse in 1902, as the family’s private residence and built to overlook their property and the town.<br />
The name, suggested by Sir John Forrest, is an aboriginal word which means “place of sleep and rest”. Kobeelya passed out of the hands of the<br />
Piesse family in 1922, becoming the boarding house and schoolrooms of the Church of England’s Kobeelya College and later Penrhos College.<br />
This school for girls, opened on 14th September 1922, was unique by allowing students to bring their horses with them.
