Deasland was a historic homestead at Ginninderra (now called Gold Creek) in Canberra’s north on the Barton Highway.
[6] After George's death, Millicent Harcourt (née Ward) and her children, remained in Deasland and grew wheat and sheep on its 685 acres until the land was resumed in 1913 for the new Australian Federal Capital Territory.
They had been living in the old Ginninderra cottage (at modern Giralang) with their two infant daughters, before they could afford to purchase the Deasland lease.
Curran became one of Australia's premier woolgrowers, setting a range of world, Commonwealth and NSW record prices for a flock, primarily pastured at Ginninderra in the late 1940s and throughout the 1950s.
The Currans improved Deasland's pasture, renovated the homestead itself, and constructed a large woolshed, hayshed, shearers’ quarters and a farmhand's cottage.
The property shrank to a few acres around the homestead and dairy, as Canberra's suburbs and golf links encroached.
The owners of the property attempted to have a small part of Deasland preserved as a memorial, but permission to do so was refused by the ACT Government's Asbestos Response Taskforce.
