The four-tonne, five-and-a-half-metre-high town clock is both an artwork and timepiece and has been made as part of the town's recovery from floods in the region. The Blumbergville clock is so named because Boonah used to be called Blumbergville and it was named after the Blumberg brothers, early settlers in the area.
The clock contains old farm equipment, an old firebox from a steam boiler and a blade off an old chaff cutter. A steam whistle driven by the compression of a stationary engine sounds on the hour.
