49kms west of Proston is the historic Boondooma Homestead complex. It represents a step back in time to 1847 when the Lawson brothers and Robert Alexander established Boondooma Station, the name being aboriginal for 'a hole dug in the sand from which to obtain a drink'.  As with most isolated stations in the early days, it was built with all the basic necessities, similar to a small village.  The Stone Building which was built in the late 1850's is beleived to be one of Australia's earliest structures built to metric measurements.

Today, visitors can be taken on a guided tour around the complex and admire these charming buildings of yesteryear and marvel at the fortitude of the early settlers. 

The complex is open 7 days 9.00a.m. to 4.30p.m., with buses and caravans welcome.  Natural grass campsites are available, woth toilet facilities but no showers. 

The Homestead holds its annual "Spirit of the Bush" Balladeers & Heritage Muster at the end of April each year.  The dates for 2008 are 23rd to 27th April, we try to include Anzac Day in our Muster.
