[1] The original slab hut which may date to 1850, is a particularly good example of the earliest type of station housing.

A "second" home, forming part of a complex of several buildings commenced in the late nineteenth century, is an example of the housing type that prevailed, at the time, on more established properties in Western Queensland.

[1] Francis Ivory, a member of the Queensland Legislative Council, resided on the property in this late 19th century home.

The entrance drive sweeps in from the southwest, veering east along the southern perimeter of the main homestead yard and north to the outbuildings.

It is located adjacent to the south-western end of an early tennis court, which is surfaced with ant bed and enclosed by a high chain-wire fence.

At the western end of the house a tank and a small structure which could be a kitchen or wash-house are located outside the verandah edge.

The buildings exhibit a variety of size, scale and architectural styles, reflecting the development of the complex over a number of years.

The house is extensively clothed in a range of creepers climbing over trellises from ground level, particularly on the south-western and north-eastern corners.

This extension of the width of the verandah roof with vine covered trellises was typical of house construction in the latter years of the nineteenth century as residents strove to shade and cool their living areas.

[1] Attached to this house along its eastern verandah is a substantial extension elevated a similar height above the ground which appears from its architectural detail to have been built between the first and second world wars.

Both verandahs have separate skillion roofs of galvanised corrugated iron along the full length of the long axis of this extension.

The vines on the trellises of the colonial house merge with a dense cover of creeper along the north-eastern elevation of the extension.

It is rectangular in shape and has a moderately pitched open-ended gable roof with the ridge line along a south-east to north-west axis.

A verandah at the southern corner of the larger structure is connected via a covered walkway and stair to the colonial house.

[1] The buildings are nestled within a canopy of mature shady trees with extensive shrub and ground cover under-planting.

The house is a low set construction, rectangular in plan, raised three steps above ground level and clad with vertical timber planking with a natural finish.

The roof is low pitched in a simple open gable form with the ridge running along the length of the rectangular plan.

[1] To the west of the main homestead complex there is a line of trees which screens the view to the working structures of the station property from the residential area.

The homestead complex has aesthetic importance as a picturesque and rustic place set in a rural environment.

[1] The place has a special association with the life or work of a particular person, group or organisation of importance in Queensland's history.
