Targinnie is a small rural community north-west of Gladstone. Its history is not unlike many other rural areas of Queensland – Indigenous occupation, pastoralism, agriculture, timber and some mining.

Bladensburg National Park is located 20 km south of Winton. It comprises more than 84 000 ha and was formed as a result of the acquisition of Bladensburg Station in 1983 and 1993.

The homestead and shearing quarters remain. This conservation plan was to provide advice on conserving the homestead and shearing quarters.

Old Cork homestead is located 150 southwest of Winton on the Diamantina River. The homestead was built of sandstone in the early 1880s when Cork Station was partly owned by Thomas McIlwraith, the then premier of Queensland. The house is now partly a ruin, having been abandoned about 30 years ago.
