Taabinga Homestead, Historic homestead in Haly Creek, Australia

Taabinga Homestead is a residential property built with sandstone walls and timber features, surrounded by several outbuildings such as a kitchen, dairy, meat storage, workshop, and stables spread across the grounds. These structures together form a working estate from the pastoral era.

The property was established in 1846 as a sheep station after brothers Charles and William Haly took over the land following Henry Stuart Russell's exploration of the Burnett district. Since that founding, it has remained continuously inhabited and is among the longest-occupied homes in Queensland.

The homestead's name comes from the Taabinga pastoral run taken up by the Haly brothers, who had arrived from Newfoundland in 1838 and reached the Burnett with about 5,000 sheep. Charles Haly sat in the first Queensland Legislative Assembly as member for the Burnett from 1860, and the Alford family, who acquired the property in 1875, kept papers published as the Alford Family Notes.

The homestead sits at 7 Old Taabinga Road in Haly Creek, in the South Burnett Region. It operates as a bed and breakfast and offers regular farm tours, so visitors should arrange accommodation and tours in advance. The stables stand on an adjoining lot, separate from the main residence.

The stables survive on an adjoining lot, but the stockyards were damaged in a fire during the 1950s. The main residence's western wall is built from locally quarried sandstone, the cedar came from the Bunya Mountains, and the hardwood floorboards were cut on the property itself.
