Herberton Mining Museum - QLD

We were encouraged to visit the museum whilst we were staying with family in nearby Mt Garnett and I must admit I was not disappointed. The Museum is run by volunteers who are all to willing to give you information on the history of mining that was undertaken in the Herberton district from the mid 1800's right up to the1970's. The amount of displays that have geology specimens is to the credit of the museum and the static displays are some of the best you will come across especially for a small district museum. There is tucked away a display of a working scale model of a dredge that was over 10 years in the creation which will not disappoint. This is well worth a visit.
