Greenmount Homestead
A Queensland-style graziers' homestead built in 1915, with original furniture and household items that tell the story of Pioneer Valley's development.
Greenmount Homestead is a graziers' residence built by the Cook family in 1915 in Pioneer Valley, listed on the Queensland Heritage Register. The house retains furniture, farm tools, photographs, and everyday items from three generations of the family. Its wide verandas and raised stilt construction are typical of Queensland homes. Tours are led by volunteers, and opening days are limited, usually a few days a week, and the house may close during the wet season. Admission is about AUD 10. The homestead is about 20 km from Mackay and makes a convenient stop on the way to Eungella.
