Fairymead House, Heritage-listed plantation house in Bundaberg, Australia.
The two-story timber and masonry structure features 16-foot ceilings, wide verandahs, and a hipped corrugated iron roof in Indian Bungalow style.
Built in 1890 for Ernest and Margaret Young, the house belonged to pioneer sugar planters who established one of Bundaberg's earliest sugar plantations.
The rooms display original furnishings and artifacts that demonstrate the living conditions of Queensland sugar plantation owners during the late 19th century.
Located in the Bundaberg Botanic Gardens since 1989, the house operates as a museum with exhibits about sugar industry development in Queensland.
During the early 1950s, the house provided accommodation for European refugees and single male workers from the adjacent sugar plantation.
