Caboonbah Homestead, Heritage homestead site in Brisbane Valley, Queensland, Australia
Constructed between 1889 and 1890, Caboonbah Homestead stood on a steep bank above Lake Wivenhoe, offering territorial views of the Brisbane Valley region.
Henry Plantagenet Somerset established Queensland's first flood warning station at this location during the significant Brisbane River flood of 1893.
The property served multiple functions over time, from a private residence to a guest house, before becoming the headquarters of Brisbane Valley Historical Society.
The museum collection at Caboonbah Homestead remains accessible six days per week, featuring exhibits of local artifacts and the McGrath Cottage addition.
The name Caboonbah derives from Aboriginal words meaning big rock, referring to the elevated bank where the homestead was constructed.
