Kurcow Farm was once known as Barnwell Farm.
Coffee was extensively grown throughout the Kuranda/Myola region in the early 1890’s until frosts wiped out large numbers crops in the early 1900’s. Robert William Warren purchased portions of the land at Barnwell in the 1890s and established a coffee plantation on the property which was named “Downtown Farm.” Dairy cattle were bought to Barnwell by William Henry Barnwell in 1936 and by 1939 he had managed to successfully establish for a dairy farmer and was advertising for a dairy hand with remuneration of 25 shillings per week and keep. Dairy cattle remained on the property until some point following World War II. It has been said that William Henry Barnwell was one of the earliest cattle farmers in the Myola and Kuranda areas to carry Droughtmaster cattle. He was well regarded as a ‘cattle man’ in the Myola area. Opening to public in August 2018, Barnwell Farm now welcome visitors daily from all over the world.
