Wairuna Homestead, Heritage homestead in Tablelands Region, Queensland, Australia.

Wairuna Homestead is a pastoral property in Queensland's Tablelands Region that includes a timber residence built in 1940 and several supporting structures. The complex comprises an early cottage, the head stockman's residence, barracks, sheds, and a butchering hut arranged around nearby lagoons.

The Atkinson family operated this station from 1881 to 1976, making it a major center for cattle breeding in Queensland's pastoral industry. Kenneth James Atkinson founded the Australian Brahman Breeders' Association in 1946, which transformed breeding practices across northern Queensland.

Wairuna station was run by the Atkinson family from 1881 to 1976, and the homestead cemetery was established in 1899. From the 1930s the property hosted CSIR-partnered research into Brahman-cross cattle, work that led to the Australian Brahman breed. Kenneth Edward James Atkinson, who lived here for more than two decades, co-established the Australian Brahman Breeders' Association in 1946.

Wairuna Homestead lies on Wairuna Road, about 80 km south of Mount Garnet in the upper Burdekin watershed. The homestead sits on a flood-free rise above a grassy-margined lake, with the residence, cottage, head stockman's house, barracks, sheds, butchering hut and 1899 cemetery grouped on the property. Access is by road through remote pastoral country; the site is a working station, so visitors should arrange entry in advance.

Wairuna station was a centre for Council for Scientific and Industrial Research trials of Brahman-cross cattle from the 1930s, work that fed into establishing the Australian Brahman breed. Kenneth Edward James Atkinson, who lived here for more than two decades, co-founded the Australian Brahman Breeders' Association in 1946.
