Westbrook Homestead, Heritage homestead in Toowoomba Region, Australia.

Westbrook Homestead is a heritage home in the Toowoomba Region built with thick double basalt stone walls and extensive cedar woodwork. Wide verandahs overlook Westbrook Creek, and two main stone structures constructed between 1864 and 1867 define the 23-hectare property.

The property was established in 1841 by John 'Tinker' Campbell as one of the first pastoral stations on the Darling Downs after botanist Allan Cunningham discovered the area. The stone buildings constructed in the following decades reflect the station's growth and investment.

The station name comes from John "Tinker" Campbell's birthplace, Portland, Maine. Shanahan and Jennings, owners from 1871 to 1898, planted 60 acres near the homestead with vineyards, chestnuts, olives, peaches and other fruit, and the station became known for cattle and horse breeding. A parish near Westbrook was named after McLean, who is buried on the property.

The homestead stands on Coupers Road at Westbrook, south of the original slab building it replaced, on elevated ground above Westbrook Creek. The bluestone was quarried on Westbrook land near Toowoomba, and the roof slate was imported from England. Look for the carved freestone block above the door reading "McL & B 1867".

The freestone block above the door reads 'McL & B 1867', initials of John Donald McLean and William Beit, the partners who commissioned the homestead. Both men died before the house was finished, so the carving may have been intended as a memorial.
