Architectural drawing of the Court House, Tambo

Queensland State Archives posted a photo:

Tambo Court House is a timber building that was constructed in 1888 and was used for judicial purposes until 1983. This building is evidence of the importance of Tambo when it was the main communication point and administrative centre in western Queensland north of Charleville.

It is a good example of a small regional courthouse of its era, having a large courtroom with offices for magistrates and court officials to the rear in a T-plan that was a standard plan for rural courthouses from the mid-nineteenth century until World War II.
