Cedar GlenEdgar Stephens who built historic Cedar Glen Homestead lived in Brisbane in his early years and his father, John, managed the Brisbane Courier, owned by his brother T.B. Stephens, for 12 years until 1874 when the paper was sold. Edgar started his working life in an office in the city but decided the country life was for him, and with his brother William he started a dairy farm at Coopers Planes. He took up land at the Lost World in 1882 and acquired Cedar Glen at the turn of the century with the homestead being built in 1901. Edgar farmed in partnership with his sons, and the family owned substantial holdings in the Lost World area. Edgar died in 1941 and since then most of the family land has been sold and the Cedar Glen 4th generation property is now 1050 acres. The historic Cedar Glen Homestead still stands today and is maintained in mostly its original condition. It is now the central hub of Cedar Glen Farmstay and is used for dining and accommodation. |

Chinese Shepherd Graves, Hut and Washpool Thought to be in the employ of AW Compigne circa 1850 there is evidence that Chinese Shepherds once lived and worked in our valley. The local Beaudesert Historical Society has erected a plaque marking the site of one hut at Crebra Farmhouse and there is also a grave nearby. The Kerry "wash pool" can also be found at Crebra Farmhouse. Now used for fishing, picnicking and exploring by guests, "The Washpool", was once the site where the sheep were dipped to remove the soil and dirt that had collected in their fleece since last shearing. |
