Australia's ageing population crisis looms

King Charles exports Scottish estate model to Australia

King Charles's Foundation has transformed Dumfries House, an 18th century Scottish estate, from a decaying property into a thriving centre for heritage conservation and artisanal skills training. The restoration, funded by approximately $100 million, preserved the home's rare collection of Thomas Chippendale furniture and created educational programmes teaching traditional crafts to thousands of students annually. The Foundation is now replicating this model at Hillview Estate in New South Wales's Southern Highlands, a former vice-regal residence purchased in 2024 to preserve Australian heritage and teach endangered traditional skills.
