Herberton sits at almost 1000m altitude on the western Tablelands. The cool and dry climate, open forest and magnificent views provide some of the best bushwalking
in Queensland.
The Herberton Mining Centre, on the original site of The Great Northern Mine, is the hub of Herberton’s history. Immerse yourself in the fascinating displays and then
explore the heritage landscape via The Great Northern Firetrails. Discover abandoned mine shafts and huge mullock heaps — the remaining evidence of a rich mining
past. The network of trails vary in length and difficulty.
