Barambah station was established in 1843 by Ferriter and Uhr in the wake of Henry Stuart Russell's exploration of the Burnett district in 1842.

Today, the timber residence built in c. 1905–06 stands as testimony to the development of Barambah as one of the earliest principal pastoral holdings in the Burnett district.

The significant associated buildings present in the homestead complex assist in demonstrating how this kind of pastoral property would have operated.

The residence exhibits a high standard of workmanship and architectural design, and its elevated position, amidst early garden remnants and overlooking a watercourse, enhances the aesthetic appeal of the site.

Barambah has a special association with the Moore family, who owned the property for nearly 100 years and who developed it during that time as one of the pre-eminent cattle stations in the Burnett district.
