Where is Jimbour House? Oh, there it is….

So this is Day 2 of our trip out to the west of Brisbane and this morning we headed off to Jimbour House.

Where is Jimbour House?

Jimbour House is just out of the Jimbour Township, to find it you just type in “Jimbour Station Road” into your preferred sat nav provider and it should lead you right there.

After the drive out from the town (It only takes five minutes), we parked the car and had something to eat.

This was a good time to take in the size of the area and to build a bit of excitement of what we were just about to see and look through.

From the car park you could just see the rooftop of Jimbour House peeking at us in the distance.

The first impression of Jimbour Station is that it is a pretty big area and that the brochures don’t do the place justice either.

After reading a few articles you can see why this man Antoni Roki is so passionate about this sandstone chapel too.

Right down to the last stone of the 2oo square metres of helidon sandstone used in the construction of the building has significance.
