About - The Rocks at Yandina

The historical property of The Rocks is named after the rock reef that stretches across the Maroochy River. Located 25 kilometers from the river mouth, The Rocks was the natural navigable head of the river for early explorers.

Originally located and diarised by Andrew Petrie in 1842, the rock reef was a significant river crossing point for indigenous Aborigines.

When freeholding was made legal, Peter Stevans was the first proprietor in 1878. Edward Browne, son of Ned Browne, the first manager of the Yandina Cattle Station, purchased the property in 1904. The property stayed in the Browne family until purchased in 2001 by Richard Sohrab Stedman.
