Statement of Significance
Hillside Station has aesthetic and historic significance. It represents a period in the evolution of pastoral stations, and has been recognised by the National Trust and the Australian Heritage Commission.
Hillside was home of Dr. Gillespie. A garden grown at Hillside supplied vegetables to Tamborough minesite which had a ten stamp battery, and also to Western Shaw minesite.
Physical Description
Hillside Station lease was taken up by George and John Gregory Withnell in 1880. It was often referred to as "Shaw River Station" in early writings. Hillside Homestead is situated on the western side of the Shaw River.
A small stone house was built and additions in later years have been added. The homestead complex consists of various buildings. Photographs show dome shaped roofs, which are effective against cyclones, and wide timber verandahs supported by timber posts.
