National Trust Queensland Heritage Festival – 3D tour

Each year, National Trusts across Australia participate in the Australian Heritage Festival.

Communities and organisations from far and wide host unique heritage events to showcase all aspects of Australia’s cultural heritage during the festival.

The theme for the 2021 Australian Heritage Festival is Our Heritage for the Future and the event takes place from April 18 to May 19.

Greenmount Homestead’s stunning heritage listed gardens played an important role in the lives of the Cook family and their staff. As part of the Heritage Festival and using exciting new technology, we’ve created an immersive 3D tour that allows you to experience the gardens like never before!

The story of the Greenmount gardens is shared through photographs taken from the extensive archive left by the Cook family, and showcases the story of the gardens’ past, present and future.  Join us online from April 18 to virtually visit the homestead’s gardens, no reservations required!
