Glenmore Homestead, Heritage homestead in Parkhurst, Australia

The Glenmore Homestead includes a four-room slab house, log cabins, and a limestone brick cottage on the banks of the Fitzroy River.

Samuel Birkbeck purchased the property in 1864, transforming it from a sheep farm into a cattle station by importing 1,500 cattle from Texas.

The limestone cottage contains Mexican artifacts and family items from the Birkbeck family, who maintained ownership through four generations.

The property spans 20 acres and functions as a heritage tourism destination with facilities for special events and celebrations.

The horizontal log cabin, constructed between 1858 and 1859, stands as one of the oldest structures north of the Fitzroy River.
