Description

Jondaryan Woolshed is a heritage-listed shearing shed at Evanslea Road, Jondaryan, Queensland, Australia.

It was built in 1859-60 to replace an earlier, smaller woolshed on the former Jondaryan pastoral station, which was at one stage the largest freehold station in Queensland. The woolshed was the scene of significant.

In 1946, Jondaryan Estates, the pastoral company which owned Jondaryan Station, was liquidated. The station's remaining lands, apart from 2,000 acres (810 ha) adjoining the homestead, were subdivided and sold, and the woolshed passed into separate ownership. In 1972, the then owner of the property offered the woolshed and 12 acres (4.9 ha) of land to the people of Jondaryan.

The Jondaryan Woolshed Historical Museum and Park Association was formed in 1976, and the site was subsequently developed into a tourist attraction. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.. The Jondaryan Homestead site also largely survives, although the original house was destroyed by fire in 1937. It is separately listed on the Queensland Heritage Register.
