The complex represents a step back in time to 1847, when the Lawson brothers with Robert Alexander established the Boondooma Station. As with other isolated stations in the early days, the homestead and surrounding acreage was built with the basic necessities similar to a small village. The remains of these buildings are 'in situ' today - the homestead which is being restored, the Stone Store, Post Office, and the grave of an early Manager. To this has been added a Museum, DPI Hut, toilet block and Caretaker's residence.

A comprehensive history of the Dairy Industry in Queensland from pioneering days through to modern day is covered at the Murgon Dairy Museum. The displays not only give an insight to the production of milk, cream and cheese, it also covers the life of the early pioneers, showing housing, farming implements and the like. To add a modern touch, the local Murgon artists have used 2m by 1m cows as their canvas to adorn the fence line of the Museum, the Cavalcade of Cows are heading towards the Dairy Museum just as the real cow headed towards the dairy.
