Lady Diamantina Bowen Tours

TOURS POSTPONED

In this guided tour of the House, you'll step back in time and become acquainted with one of Queensland's most influential women, Lady Diamantina Roma Bowen. A woman renowned for introducing a sense of elegance into the new colony and for establishing the social and cultural blueprint for the growing Brisbane community.

Queensland's impressive First Lady (1859 – 1868) makes a return to see how Brisbane has progressed since she laid some of its most vital social cornerstones. On your exclusive walk around, Lady Bowen will share her rich insights into life in early Brisbane.

You'll connect with Lady Diamantina on a more personal level over morning or afternoon tea as she hosts you exclusively on her private verandah.

Visitors will be inspired by Natalie Cowling's interpretation of Queensland's First Lady, Lady Diamantina Roma Bowen, as she gives you an exclusive and insightful tour of the House.

Natalie's passion for history and storytelling made the past come alive! I saw things I'd never seen before but pass by every day, and was constantly astonished.
