Boondooma Homestead, Heritage-listed pastoral complex in Boondooma, Queensland

The homestead features a stone building, timber house, dining room, connecting walkway, and cooling shed situated near Boondooma Creek and Boyne River.

Three Scottish settlers established Boondooma Station in 1846, with construction of the main buildings occurring between the 1850s and 1870s.

The stone structure, built by German stonemason Wilhelm Brill in the 1850s, represents the architectural methods and materials of early Queensland pastoral settlements.

The South Burnett Regional Council maintains the property through the Boondooma Museum & Heritage Association, offering visitors access to historical buildings and gardens.

The property operated a wool scour and pressing plant on the Boyne River until the 1890s, when environmental changes forced a transition to cattle farming.
