A Property With a Story The Thanes Creek district was established in the late 1800s, originally as part of a busy alluvial gold-fossicking area. At its peak, this tiny locality featured a school, a hotel and a train station, with workers, railway travellers and farming families passing through daily. The original Thanes Creek State School, which operated on this very site, served the local community for decades. The nearby hotel catered to travellers and stockmen, while the small rail stop linked the area with Warwick and surrounding towns - a reminder of a time when rural Queensland communities relied heavily on the railway. While the buildings are long gone, the sense of history remains. The property still sits on the same ground that anchored the village, offering a charming and nostalgic setting for its next chapter.
