Barambah Homestead, Heritage-listed pastoral homestead in Goomeri, Australia.
Barambah Homestead is a single-storey timber residence on Goomeri Road, Barambah, in the Gympie Region, built in c. 1905–06 to a design by Frederic Herbert Faircloth. Its internal core of living and private rooms is encircled by verandahs, and the original division between living areas and bedrooms survives despite later renovations, apart from the enclosed rear verandah.
The station was founded in 1843 after Henry Stuart Russell explored the area and grew quickly into a major cattle operation. In the early 1900s, a new house was built following designs by a respected architect.
The Moore family shaped this property for nearly a century, making it one of the main cattle stations in the Burnett region. You can still see traces of this long period in how the house is arranged and used.
The house was completed in 1906 and kept its original layout despite many changes over the 1900s. Visitors should notice the elevated position and the nearby watercourse that shaped how the place was built.
The house was built in 1905–06 by William (Bill) Clarry of Bundaberg to a design by Frederic Herbert Faircloth. Its elevated position above a watercourse, among remnants of an early garden, is noted in the Queensland Heritage Register listing of 21 August 1992.
