When we were at the visitor centre they suggested that we go to the Herberton pioneer town, they said we would need a whole day, so that is where we headed.
Driving through the country made me feel like I was back in Tasmania in the north west or west coast, the roads very hilly and windy, but the countyside is spectacular, I don't think I could get sick of looking at it.
When we got to Herberton we did find a good sized town people lived in and also the best preserved town I could imagine.
They had everything from the early days, Herberton was a mining area, there was nothing that wasn't there from the chemist shop with all the old gear, bulldozers, tractors, fire engine, rail ambulance, so much machinery and tools for every day life, all the buildings were relocated and restored, school, bank, police station, newsagent, printers, photographers, just too much to name them all, it certainly was a full day.
We came back to Ravenshoe to stay in one of their caravan parks near a river for tonight.
