COMMENTS: Historical Shadbolt House – “Cedar Rose”

Over a hundred years ago, the Tramachhi family moved from Italy to Australia eventually purchasing property at Cedar Pocket near Gympie. The property was a catchment for the tributary to East Deep Creek which now feeds the Cedar Pocket Dam (built in 1985 to assist irrigation for the local dairy industry). The old bridge was rebuilt and raised at the same time and the road re-aligned.

In 1921, part of the Tramachhi property was sold to the Department of Education to build a school for the local children at Cedar Pocket. The school has since been demolished but was then located on the hill on the right side going south after crossing the Sorenson Bridge over the Cedar Pocket Dam.

The second eldest of the Tramachhi children, Stefano, built his house about 500 metres further north and aligned to the Creek. The house was constructed in 1924 with timber from the old butter factory in Gympie and the building materials were hauled to the site by horse and buggy. This house is now situated at the corner of Shadbolt and Cedar Pocket Roads and has been restored by the present owners and renamed “Cedar Rose”.

Stefano Tramachhi married and sired four daughters. After relocating his family to Roma, Stefano sold his farm to his parents in 1927 and they, together with his Uncle Davide, moved into the house.

“Cedar Rose” and the land surrounding it (now subdivided to just under 5 acres) have been owned by:

Tramachhi Family

Jack Buckley

The Price Family

Norm Drescher

McClyrmonts

then back to the Tramachhis (John Junior), who then sold it to Mr and Mrs David Whordley, an English couple in 1967

Fred and Isabel Shadbolt bought the house on the 3rd of April 1968. They added the back verandah in 1975, restumped it in 1973 and replaced the roof in December 1982. They also built an internal kitchen and bathroom and closed in the verandah for more bedrooms. Fred Shadbolt worked on the local Council and was rewarded for his dedication to the region by the Council renaming the roam from Woondum Road to Shadbolt Road.
