Booubyjan Homestead, Heritage homestead in Booubyjan, Queensland
The timber homestead features a main building elevated on wooden stumps, connected by open verandahs to surrounding structures across the property grounds.
Brothers Paul and Clement Lawless established the homestead in 1847 after arriving from County Cork, Ireland, developing it into a substantial pastoral property.
The dining room displays traditional Australian construction methods with drop slab timber walls and French doors opening to a wide colonial verandah.
Located 14 kilometers north of Tansey in the Gympie Region, the homestead spans across 9000 acres of Queensland pastoral land.
The property records document the employment of Chinese workers in sheep herding during the 1840s, noting their skills despite language differences.
