TitleWyllie family historic plaque, Sweeney Reserve at Petrie, 1998DescriptionWyllie family historic plaque near the original gate posts to the family's Riverleigh residence, Sweeney Reserve, Petrie. These posts supported the gates which led to the family's large, low-level brick house which was constructed in the 1860s (not 1886 as shown on the plaque). Alexander Jackson Wyllie was an active community member who served in local government between 1882 and 1921. He was heavily involved with the North Pine Presbyterian Church where he taught Sunday School for 51 years. Ring events of the Pine Rivers Agricultural, Horticultural and Industrial Association's shows were held in the family paddocks before the establishment of the Lawnton Showgrounds. The family left the property in 1940.
