Wolston Farmhouse, Brisbane’s oldest surviving residential farmhouse, is a nineteenth-century rural gem located a short drive southwest of the CBD.
The historic landmark, previously known as Wolston House, is in a rural setting dating back to 1852. It was the first property to be cared for by the National Trust of Australia (Queensland).
The Heritage-listed homestead has spacious verandas overlooking the lush green property and gardens. It has six rooms; each room displays a nineteenth-century rural lifestyle with artefacts such as sausage stuffers in the kitchen, silverware in the dining room, a pianola in the parlour and horsehair mattresses in the bedrooms.
The larder, a meat room, and the Maid’s quarters with a scullery are all in the cellars. The air is cooler down there, and noises can be heard along with the temperature change; there might be some paranormal activity!
Wolston Farmhouse is closed to the public but opens Monday through Friday as The Centre of Excellence for School Excursion Programs, a learning playground for future generations.
Open to the public on the 1st & 3rd Sunday of each month.
