Douglas Vale Historic Homestead & Vineyard
Historical place museum
👍👍 This place is managed by a not-for-profit and run by volunteers. The old house has its own interesting history, and the winery is also quite nice, including its gardens and bamboos. When you think about the amount of work required of winery owners to get something like this off the ground, it is an...

Miegunyah House Museum
History museum
👍👍 What a lovely treasure hidden in the side streets of Brisbane. We came upon Miegunyah House Museum unexpectedly during the Brisbane Open House in 2019. There is so much historian detail that is preserved within these halo walls that is so beautifully maintained. From the quaint kitchen to the charm...

Fort Lytton Historic Military Precinct
Historical landmark
👍👍 I got together a group of 10 and we went to see Fort Lytton at night just before Christmas and it was fantastic! None of us really knew what to expect, just that it was some kind of guided history thing - but wow, it was so much more than that. We couldn't get over how well the actors knew their lin...

Lara Heritage & Historical Museum
Museum
👍👍 What a gem of local history! This old building apparently rescued through the effort and enthusiasm of volunteers helped by a very generous local businessman, is well worth your time to visit. And the admission price is well within the means of most people. They have an extensive collection of local...

Yallum Park
Historical place museum
👍 An interesting piece of local history. A grand old two storey house. For a fee - $10 adults or $5 child, the owner will take you on a guided tour of the lower floor rooms only. Showcasing beautiful old furniture, detailed wallpapers, gold leaf highlights. This house is still very much a private resi...

Wolston Farmhouse
Historical place museum
👍 Beautiful old stone house. Interesting piece of Brisbane history. Lots of birds and kangaroo around. The entire site is not very big, 1.5 - 2hrs max if you come here for the high tea as well. The high tea was fine, very basic. I wouldn’t call it high tea though, more like basic morning tea.

Greenmount Homestead

👍 Travel into Mackay’s hinterland, and within 20 minutes you’ll come to a typical Queenslander homestead that was established more than a century ago. This was donated to Mackay in 1984 by the Cook family, who had lived here since 1915. Along with the main house, with a beautiful veranda, there’s a s...
