Greenmount Homestead (five kilometres west of Walkerston) is one of Mackay's most valued historic attractions. Built in 1915 by Albert Cook, the former cattle property forms part of the original claim taken up by Captain John Mackay in 1862. Following the death of Albert’s son Tom, the homestead was gifted to the city in 1983 and has operated as a heritage site ever since. The grounds contain a number of buildings, including a Queenslander style homestead, staff quarters, garage and blacksmith’s workshop, which together house a collection of more than 20,000 artefacts. The stunning heritage listed gardens and grounds played an important role in Cook family life, and feature a formal front garden, fernery, and arbour.

A great little museum that is larger than you realize. Lots of interesting history on the area and not to be missed if you are visiting Mackay. Everything is well labeled and you don't need to guess what it is. The volunteers here are doing a great job Check the opening time and it is value for money to be sure
