Meet the Smiths

Tommy Smith was an early Queensland pioneer who worked alongside his father in his timber milling business. After inheriting the enterprise, he moved into sugar cultivation and manufacture as well as operating a large rum distillery on the property. Smith also began to plant grapes on the Woodlands estate, expanding into the production of wines and brandies. Tommy Smith was also a keen gardener who developed mango and olive plantations. Tommy married Mary Stuart in 1881, the daughter of the headmaster of the local School and had 11 children together! They built their new family home which is perched on a commanding hilltop, which stands today as the iconic Woodlands of Marburg.
