Raspberry Creek Homestead, Heritage homestead in Byfield, Australia
Description
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.
History
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.
Culture
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.
Practical
Visits can be arranged in advance by calling ahead, with flexible times depending on availability. The site sits on rural land outside town and is best reached with your own transport.
Did you know?
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.
