The lookout contains spectacular views of the Great Barrier Reef National Park and Cairns city to the Northern Beaches.

Maybe a Devonshire morning tea included at the famous Mt Uncle Distillary/Bridges Cafe is the order of the morning. Visit the Rocky Creek War Memorial Park and learn the important parts the Atherton Tablelands played in WWII. Now comes the highlight of the day - Inclusive entrance into the award winning Historical Pioneer Village in Herberton, plus an old fashioned cooked lunch. Choose from a selection of home cooked country style meals, made fresh and to your dietary requirements.

Next it's time to follow the very scenic Crater Valley and Herberton Ranges along the highway to Mt Hypipamee and be overwhelmed with the depth and sight of the ancient crater formed thousands of years ago.

One of the best historic villages I have had the pleasure of visiting

Published on May, 2024

This privately owned and run historic village is a credit to those involved, just ensure to allow enough time to do it justice. The entry fee is not cheap, but it does allow entry for three days and is therefore great value for history buffs. We drove out from Cairns for the day, but for another visit we would stay locally and go back on a daily basis rather than run ourselves ragged in one day. A bit of something for everyone.

Step back in time

Published on Nov, 2023

It was the most visually interesting step back in time, the artifacts, the massive area filled with so much history and preserved so well. It’s worth visit for all ages.

Simply amazing!

Published on Aug, 2023

This is an absolute must for those interested in history. An outstanding array of buildings and memorabilia gathered together to showcase life as it was in the early days. Take your time to wander through and compare this to the mod cons we take for granted today!! An exceptional view of the heritage of the area and still cannot believe there was so much to see.

Herberton Historic Village

Published on Jun, 2023

We were amazed at the size of the collection on display, as well as the attention to detail. Credit goes to the current and previous owners for having the passion to create such an acquisition over time. Allow for a full day so as not to miss any part and don't forget to view the film. We enjoyed our visit and highly reccommend this Herberton attraction.

Amazing Value

Published on Aug, 2021

Have just silent the day at this wonderful museum village set on 16 acres of immaculately keep grounds and gardens. It cost us as pensioners $29 each and this entitled us to a three day pass. Had we not travelled 90 minutes to get there this pass would have been ideal as there was just so much to see and do. Mining, printing, saw milling, woodwork , toys and several original houses were just a small part of what was included. Everything was maintained in excellent condition. Toilets etc clean and plentiful. This place is a credit to the people who established it and those who are now maintaining it. Highly recommended
