Darling Downs
Jimbour East, QLD, Australia
The Space
A heritage-listed gem nestled across 11,000 acres of rural Queensland, Darling Downs is an exquisite property offering a rich historical backdrop for film, photography, and creative production.
Established in 1875, this grand estate blends European elegance with Australian charm — from ornate French doors and Tuscan columns to expansive Queensland verandahs and a roof crafted from Welsh slate. Every corner of the property evokes a sense of timeless beauty and quiet drama.
Beyond its striking architecture, Darling Downs is steeped in deep cultural significance, shaped by layers of Aboriginal and European histories. The estate carries the legacy of the many communities and families who have called it home, each leaving their own mark on its story.
Located just 25 minutes from Dalby and three hours from Brisbane, this cinematic location has already graced screens in major productions such as Return to Eden and the Stan Original film The Second. Inside, much of the original furniture and features remain, dating back to the Russell family’s ownership beginning in 1923 — adding a further layer of authenticity and historical richness.
Whether you're capturing period drama, editorial stills, or an atmospheric event, Darling Downs offers an unforgettable setting that truly speaks through the lens.
