Slow Down
Time slows the moment you arrive in Howard. This charming country town, surrounded by fertile rural landscapes, tranquil rivers, and pristine beaches, offers the perfect escape for those seeking a gentler pace of life.

History
As you wander the corridors of this grand old home, the weight of history is unmistakable. Built in 1890 for Mr. Rankin, Chairman of the Queensland Collieries Company, Brooklyn House has been a landmark from its earliest days. It later became home to Dame Annabelle Rankin, who went on to make history herself as Australia’s first female federal minister in the Holt Government.
