Warren Roberts and his team, Paul Jones, Alan Neville, and Rex Cossens, with the help of Mick Roberts, have completed the restoration of the furniture from the Corrong Homestead.
The team began from scratch and used as much as possible of the old structure and materials, instead of completely restoring it with original materials.

The team began their employment in March through The Wimmera Grampians Group Traning Co. Inc. and completed the project, including other improvements around the town, on September 25, 1996.
Under the instruction of Ruth Roberts, the team also restored a number of furniture items original to the homestead.
