The history of Mt Ubi Homestead: Under the new Land Act of 1868, Mr. A.E. Bonney took up a portion of Kenilworth Station - Portion 446, Parish of Maleny - an area of 444 acres. He named this property Mt Ubi. Subsequently several more blocks were added to the original property and formed Mt Ubi Estate. In the 1880's a new "Homestead Act" was passed which threw open the remainder of the leasehold lands held by Kenilworth Run and Mt Ubi Station for closer settlement. The selector was required to personally reside on and make his livelihood from his selection. The blocks ranged from 160 to 640 acres according to the quality of the land - blocks with alluvial river flats were smaller. The price was fixed at two shillings and sixpence per acre. Some years later Mr Bonney leased it to Mr William Tamlyn and Mr F.W. Rodgers (not the postmaster), and in 1897 Mt Ubi Estate changed ownership. Senator J. F. Walker of Sydney purchased the property and after a chance meeting with Mr. J. C. Hassall, his classmate from Geelong Grammar, Mr Hassall was appointed manager until it was cut up for closer settlement in 1925. *The Australian Government's Reef Trust Phase IV is focused on riparian revegetation activities in priority catchments of the Great Barrier Reef which includes the Mary River catchment. The MRCCC Reef Trust phase IV project is now in its fourth year targeting riverbank restoration. The project began in mid-2017 and continues. The aim of the project is to remediate streambank erosion in key river reaches and tributaries of the catchment that are contributing high sediment loads. ** Every precaution has been taken to establish the accuracy of the material on this listing and all information provided has been gathered from sources we deem to be reliable.
