Murrumba Homestead Grounds, Heritage site in Petrie, Queensland.
Located at 38 Armstrong Street, Murrumba Homestead Grounds features mature gardens with Bunya pines, Hoop pines, Kauri pines, and a large Weeping fig.
Tom Petrie established Murrumba Homestead in the 1860s, constructing a timber residence and developing extensive gardens before its demolition in the early 1950s.
The site exemplifies early cooperation between European settlers and Aboriginal peoples through Tom Petrie's strong relationships with the local Turrbal community.
The grounds now house Our Lady of the Way Primary School and Parish Church, maintaining the historical trees and offering interpretive signage about the site's past.
Murrumba served as a Cobb & Co staging post and became the foundation for the township of North Pine, which was later renamed Petrie.
