About Queensland Old Farm House

A weatherboard Queensland homestead sits low in the centre of the frame, its wide verandah shaded beneath a hipped roof of corrugated iron streaked rust-orange and pale grey. The house is raised on stumps, with posts, railings and a dark doorway visible along the front. To the right a steel windmill on a lattice tower catches the light, its fan blades turned toward the camera. Bare-limbed trees stand at either side, and a flat line of dark scrub runs along the horizon under a soft blue sky scattered with thin cloud.

In the foreground a wire mesh gate hangs between rough timber posts, held with a red-brown latch, and the paddock beyond is dry gold grass over bare earth. The photograph is clear and evenly lit, with fine detail in the corrugations, the wire squares and the tufted grass. Its character is quiet and unsentimental, a plain record of an ageing homestead holding on in open country.

Suits hallways, studies and country-style living rooms, and works in a beach house or rural cottage where the walls are white or limewashed. Pairs with recycled timber furniture, leather armchairs, jute rugs and woven baskets. Sits well alongside other Australian landscape prints or family photographs in simple black or natural timber frames.
