The Nallan Station Homestead has historic significance as one of the early pastoral stations established in the Cue district. It is also evidence of the way in which building materials were recycled throughout the district.
The Nallan Homestead is of fibro and corrugated iron construction and consists of 14 rooms, including 6 bedrooms, a dining room, sitting room, kitchen and bathroom. Located in a fenced garden, the homestead has partly enclosed surrounding verandahs supported on timber posts. The iron roof extends to cover the verandah.
Nallan means “good eating” with reference to bountiful lake environment. The original homestead was built in 1920 and was of timber and iron construction and lined with decorative pressed metal sheeting. An additional six rooms were later added using materials from the Old Cue Hospital. Later additions incorporated building materials from a maternity hospital originally located in Sandstone. In 1926 the Homestead was flooded badly. [Sue Rogerson & April Kiffin-Petersen]
