Boondooma Homestead manager Buddy Thomson has been recognised at the recent Gallery and Museum Achievement Awards for his work at the historic Boondooma museum complex.<\/p>\n

Buddy – or Albert, as he is more formally known – was recognised as a finalist for his outstanding achievement in the category of “Individuals: Volunteer”.<\/p>\n

Buddy has a leadership role on the Management Committee of the Boondooma Museum & Heritage Association Inc.<\/p>\n

His parents were the last private owners of Boondooma, which explains his strong bond with the property.<\/p>\n

In 1975, Boondooma was Heritage-listed and bought by a local council.<\/p>\n

Buddy left home in his late teens and returned to the property in the early 1980s only to find the property had fallen into ruins.<\/p>\n

It was his vision to restore the homestead using old bush skills.<\/p>\n

The homestead complex is now owned by the South Burnett Regional Council and leased to the Boondooma Museum & Heritage Association Inc.<\/p>\n

Buddy has managed the restoration of the homestead and the ongoing restoration and maintenance of out-buildings as well as the heritage gardens.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many of the objects for the museum collection have been provided by Buddy, and he has encouraged others to be involved in the classification and recording of the collection.<\/p>\n

He has also encouraged a group of 300 known as the “Friends of Boondooma” who support the property.<\/p>\n

Museums and Galleries Queensland says Buddy\u2019s hard work, leadership and determination have established the property as a historic site as well as a community and cultural centre.<\/p>\n

Boondooma Homestead hosts festivals and many events, ensuring the development and survival of the complex and its financial viability.<\/p>\n

It has allowed Boondooma Homestead to grow into the significant heritage site and tourism attraction.<\/p>\n
