Booubyjan Homestead, Heritage-listed homestead in Booubyjan, Gympie Region, Australia

Booubyjan Homestead is a timber residence raised on wooden posts with connecting open verandahs linking the main building and surrounding structures across the property. The complex features timber construction typical of colonial pastoral stations in the region.

Brothers Paul and Clement Lawless founded the property in 1847 after immigrating from County Cork, Ireland. They developed it into a large pastoral station across the Queensland landscape.

The name Booubyjan comes from a large rock near the run, and correspondence and government gazettes also record it as Boombyjan, Boonbyjan, Booubijan and Boombagan. The oldest building, the Dining Room, was probably a nursery first; the Queensland Women's Historical Association placed its first blue plaque in the state on it in 1960, dating it to about 1860.

The property sits about 14 kilometers north of Tansey in the Gympie Region and spans broad pastoral grounds. The main buildings are connected by verandahs, making it straightforward to move between different sections.

Clement Lawless wrote in March 1849 that Chinese labourers at Booubyjan were paid considerably less than European workers, and that language problems were overcome because the Chinese did everything by signs and were excellent at tending sheep. The station's wages books record their large share of the workforce.
