🌬️ Do you recognise this iconic feature of the village? It’s the Southern Cross Windmill, a symbol of innovation that played a vital role in the early Australian outback. 🌾 Keep your eyes peeled for it when you visit the #HistoricVillage.

“Step back in time at the Historic Village Herberton. One day was not enough to explore the 60 original buildings exhibiting many historical collections. What an amazing place to visit while on the Atherton Tablelands.”

Step into the grand Bank of Australasia, where the wheels of Herberton’s economy turned. 💰 This beautifully restored building takes you back to a time when mining riches fuelled the growth of the town.

That time, way back in 2013, when the @flemingtonvrc Melbourne Cup made its way to Herberton... It took a special journey on the Tinlander, thanks to the Ath-Rail volunteers, and arrived at #HistoricVillageHerberton with a grand procession down Main Street. The cup was then proudly displayed at the Coach House for the community to admire. What a memorable day that was.

🇦🇺⛏️ It’s the 1880s and you get to experience the excitement of Herberton’s tin mining boom, where the town’s history began. Did you know, Herberton, the oldest town on the #AthertonTablelands, was once at the heart of Queensland’s mining frontier?⏳
