Manderley, 3275 Christmas Creek Road, Lamington QLD 4285

Consider for a moment what it would be like to live in the tranquillity and seclusion of your own eco retreat, yet only two hours from the central business district of Brisbane. 'Manderley' is located in the district of Lamington and sits high in the Christmas Creek valley on the edge of the McPherson Range that borders Queensland and New South Wales. Centred on an open park that is surrounded by forest, 'Manderley' is fringed on one side by Christmas Creek and ringed by ridges and rugged mountains. As you enter 'Manderley' across the creek's causeway, a winding path passes through forest before opening onto spacious parkland. At one edge, the house sits before a steeply rising mountain crowned by an imposing cliff face.

Lamington's most notable place in history occurred in February 1937 when a rescue party was rapidly assembled in the small hamlets of the upper Christmas Creek valley to extract 2 survivors of a Stinson airliner which had crashed high on the edge of the Lamington plateau 11 days earlier. The feat of discovery by Bernard O'Reilly, after the search for the missing plane had long been called off, has no equal in the history of twentieth century Australian bushmanship.
