Wickliffe is a small town in the Rural City of Ararat local government area in western Victoria, Australia.

[7] In March 1856 the Wickliffe post-office was re-opened, serving the township and district residents until it closed in April 1988.

[2] The local Presbyterian congregation raised one thousand pounds and obtained a government grant to build a church.

A 70-foot high steeple and bell-tower was added to the building in 1878 with funds provided by the local landholder J. D.

[9] From 1873 to 1878 J. D. Wyselaskie built the Narrapumelap homestead, a bluestone French Gothic-revival mansion, south-west of the township on his pastoral station.

[10] In August 1880 the body of a man was found in a paddock at Reedy Creek, about seven miles north-west of Wickliffe.

Police investigations later revealed Quinlivan had been murdered by his companion, Robert Francis Burns, who was convicted of the crime in July 1883.

[2] After World War II a section of the 'Narrapumelap' estate was subdivided to form 22 soldier-settler farms.

It is a single-storied building, asymmetrically assembled with a central projecting gabled wing, turret and tower.

The Hamilton branch of the National Trust organised two open days at 'Narrapumelap' which inspired Kevin McIntyre to begin the restoration of Narrapumelap homestead and its garden.
