Boonara Homestead is a grand old colonial home set in the picturesque undulating landscape of the South Burnett just outside the village of Goomeri in South East Queensland. It was built in 1862 for David Jones, the founder of the Department Store Empire. The home features 14ft high ceilings and 7 inch beaded edge walls constructed of red cedar. Ironbark and Red Gum were also used, obtained from the property and cut up by pitsaws. The saw marks and hand-made nails are still there today. Because the ground was rocky, the building has no stumps but instead it is supported by 3 rows of bed logs. Large red gums. Sitting on top of shorter logs running across underneath them. These were all adzed in. The building today still sits on these logs and remains relatively level. Not bad considering this home will be 150 years old in 2012. The spacious living area features four fireplaces. Little touches such as the porcelain fingerplates and knobs on the doors and of course, the wide verandahs all go to make this an enchanting home. Discover the History-of this Grand Colonial Homestead (built in 1862 for David Jones of Department Store Fame) with a Guided Tour including all the 'century old' stories from the mid 1800's when Boonara Station was a holding of over 172, 000 acres. Take a stroll around the grounds or just unwind and relax on the verandahs while enjoying a delicious homemade Devonshire Tea.
