    What an amazing place. You need to devote at least a half day or more to see the entire village and do justice to your visit. Situated on 16acres, there is everything imaginable of historic significance to see here. Lots of buildings, many dedicated to a specific relic. For example the record players room, it has music playing. Same for the piano teachers room, They have exhibits that work and you will find times where to be when they start them up. For instance the stationary engines, fire engines, old cars etc. From memory, the museum was started by one man who collected from childhood and then joined by another and then lots of relics were donated and hence 16acres of it. You cross the river by two ways, bridge or causeway to more exhibits and one of the largest generators I've ever seen. They have an area where damper and billy tea is made and served but unfortunately not at the time we were there. There is a nice cafe on site to enjoy a cold drink or lunch. There is also a 1/2 hour video on the Tin Mining that was responsible for Herberton becoming a township. Very interesting. One of the best Historical Villages we've been too. Well worth the drive from Cairns.

    Amazing open air museum giving an insight into pioneer life iin Australia. We spent all day looking at the exhibits. The ticket is valid for multiple days so its possible to do a bit one day and return the next.

    This was one of best kept Historical places I have seen. Extremely well maintained and presented. You need a day to explore the whole area, with rest breaks in between. The staff were great and provided all the information you could ask for. Dog friendly, we were able to take our kelpie with us and she got two treats.. This is a must see, you will not be disappointed.

    The best and most well kept historic village Ive seen anywhere. I cant imagine how much work gies into the upkeep. Blacksmith was entertaining and educational, damper and billy tea was excellent and the range and quality of displays was amazing. An excellent day out for singles, couples or a family. Travelling around Australia fir work means I see a lot of thus sort of attraction and this is the bedtime anywhere by a long way.
