125 Glenmount Road, Tanawha QLD 4556, Australia
The house is situated at 125 Glenmount Road in Tanawha, a rural locality in the Sunshine Coast Region of Queensland. Tanawha is a suburb of Buderim and part of the Sunshine Coast hinterland.
The Bruce Highway passes through Tanawha from south‑east to north‑west, and the Sunshine Motorway runs along the eastern side of the suburb. Both provide convenient road access to the surrounding Sunshine Coast area.
According to the 2021 census, Tanawha had a population of 1,312 people. The suburb’s small community contributes to its rural character.
The Maroochy Regional Bushland Botanic Garden is about 1.9 km away, offering native plant displays. The heritage‑listed Palmwoods‑Buderim Tramway site is roughly 2.0 km distant, and Bloomhill Cancer Care is around 2.4 km from the house. These sites are all within a short drive of the property.
The Tanawha Deviation opened to traffic on 16 November 1989, replacing the former section of the Bruce Highway that ran through the area. This change redirected the main highway flow and created the Tanawha Tourist Drive for local traffic.
Frank Cunning was a timber cutter and son of early pioneer William Cunning junior. He operated sawmills in the region, including at Kiel Mountain and Forest Glen, and owned a 100‑hectare cattle property along Sippy Creek in Tanawha.
Located about 1.9 km from the house, the garden showcases a wide variety of plants native to the Sunshine Coast. It provides walking trails, educational displays, and a peaceful natural setting for residents and guests.
