Glengarry Homestead, Heritage-listed homestead in Boynedale, Gladstone Region, Queensland, Australia

Glengarry Homestead is a single-storey brick residence with a hipped corrugated iron roof and verandahs on all four sides, set on a hill above the Boyne River Valley. Behind it stands a detached kitchen of hardwood poles and corrugated iron, linked by a covered way. The dairy, stables, blacksmith's shop and buggy shed recorded in 1979 have since collapsed.

Glengarry began as part of William Henry Walsh's Milton run, applied for in 1856; after the 1868 Crown Lands Alienation Act the runs were resumed, and Milton was divided in 1883. John Dickenson selected Portion 26V, gazetted 15 July 1892, and lived there from 20 March 1894; an 1898 report listed a brick house valued at £350, a weatherboard kitchen, yards and a hardwood shed. The Gladstone Area Water Board bought the property on 1 August 1979, and it has been leased for grazing since 1983.

The name Glengarry was carried over from the earlier Milton run's successor station, and the homestead's detached kitchen is thought to be the original dwelling, later demoted to kitchen and servant use when the brick house was built. John Dickenson's family held the property until 1946, and it has been leased for grazing since 1983.

The buildings stand on a hill above the Boyne River Valley and the Gladstone-Monto Road, with water and power connected but no occupants; the site is leased for grazing. The dairy, stables, blacksmith's shop and buggy shed recorded in 1979 have since collapsed, so expect open ground between the surviving structures. At high Awoonga Dam levels the site can become an island, though that is not planned for about 50 years.

The detached kitchen appears older than the brick house and was probably the original homestead, later demoted to kitchen and servant accommodation. The dairy, stables, blacksmith's shop and buggy shed recorded by the National Trust in 1979 have since collapsed. At high Awoonga Dam levels the site would become an island, though that is not planned for about 50 years.
