Greycliffe Homestead
Greycliffe Homestead, which was originally constructed in the 1870s, was made out of slabs cut with an axe and a saw and had wooden rafters. It had a shingled roof.
The homestead was originally owned by the Nott family, who lived there with their seven children. They had the house remodelled in the 1920s, replacing the original shingle roof with an iron one shaped into a pyramid.
After the death of the last of the Nott descendants in 1974, it became clear that the old homestead couldn’t be sustained in its current position. So, in 1979, it was moved by the Banana Shire historical society to where it now resides – some 37 kilometres away on Gladstone Road.
Greycliffe has been recognized by the National Trust of Australia (Queensland) as one of the most important elements of the national estate, worth preserving at all costs!
There are also two outbuildings, one for the farm animals and another for the tools used by the farmer.
The homestead is located near the historic town of Callidale Vale, which is open to the general public by appointment. You can phone them at (07) 4992 0205.
