Coochin Coochin Homestead, Heritage-listed pastoral homestead in Coochin, Queensland, Australia.
Description
Coochin Coochin Homestead is a pastoral dwelling with connected pavilions built during different periods, set within gardens and surrounded by outbuildings. The structures include a meat house, hay storage sheds, and other structures that illustrate the working farm layout of the property.
History
The property was established in 1842 as Dulhunty's Plain, marking one of the earliest pastoral stations in the Moreton region of Queensland. Its growth as a livestock operation reflects the expansion of colonial settlement in this part of the colony.
Culture
The name Coochin Coochin comes from the Aboriginal word ga-jin-ga-jin, meaning red stones. Local people have long connected this name to the rocky character of the land around the homestead.
Practical
The site can be explored on foot, with different buildings showing how a historic pastoral farm functioned. Sturdy footwear is recommended as the ground may be uneven, and weather protection is useful during visits.
