Let's journey back to a pivotal chapter in Far North Queensland's history. 🌏 During World War II, grave concerns of a Japanese invasion in Australia's north swept through the region.
War fever had truly hit, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape. See some of this history displayed at the #historicvillage in this dedicated exhibition.

The Historic Village Herberton took out silver at the Queensland Tourism Awards in Tourist Attractions. This category recognises natural or built attractions that people visit for pleasure and interest. What a night to celebrate, we are just so proud to receive this award. We will take 2nd in Queensland!
An example of time marching on…
“This is THE HOUSE that man built, and this is the poor little Suffragette who tried, oh so hard, in this HOUSE to get: Though it wasn't a crime, still with patience sublime, she spends the best part of her life doing time; OH Fie! Suffragette, be contented to get in your OWN little house, that man built.”

Why did Pinocchio apply for a job at the lumberyard? 🌲 Because he wanted to be a little more 'truthful' about his origins 🪵🤥🪆.
