Raspberry Creek Homestead, Heritage homestead in Byfield, Australia

Raspberry Creek Homestead is a pioneer house near Byfield that displays furnishings and tools from colonial settlement times. The property holds an original slab hut and other buildings that document how early settlers lived.

The house was built in the 1860s by James and Mary Hutton, who came as settlers to the remote region. The buildings were later preserved as a heritage site and offer insight into early European settlement in Queensland.

The Hutton family left behind personal items and records that show how settlers lived and shaped the region. Visitors can understand the role this homestead played in developing the local community.

The homestead stands in the grounds of the Byfield and District Historical Society on Byfield Road, at 2312 Byfield Road. The original slab section has been detached from the two later weatherboard extensions, which remain joined and are reached by a timber ramp on the south-eastern side. The site lies on a reserve for Cultural and Historical Purposes under Livingstone Shire Council trusteeship, leased by the society, which runs a museum and library in the former homestead.

An original slab hut was relocated and rebuilt here in 1988 from its former location at Shoalwater Bay. This makes it an unusual example of heritage preservation through relocation rather than conservation in place.
