Live the folklore and romance of yesterday’s Australia in every piece of this eye-opening collection. The award-winning attraction is more than a vintage precinct – it’s a tangible buzz of things past with over 50 original buildings with intact interior displays, original machinery and vehicles, plus thousands of antique items and period memorabilia. It is regarded as the most significant vintage

collection ever assembled in Queensland, and is located just outside the township of Herberton high on the Atherton Tablelands, about 90 minutes drive from Cairns.

A visit to the Historic Village Herberton and a pheasant cuckoo sighting. That’s a pretty good day out.

Thanks to Peter for the great review and for sharing his experience with us.

“We are in our 30's and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit here! Sabrina was very approachable and she sent us in the right direction. We also have done the 15mins loop bush walk and we were rewarded to see some stunning bird species including pheasant cuckoo. Great experience. Highly recommended 👌”

This street doesn’t really need an introduction.

The heart of the Historic Village Herberton is lined with original buildings, fascinating collections and stories from a time when newspapers, bootmakers, jewellers and blacksmiths were part of everyday life.

Take your time, wander the boardwalks and see what catches your eye. There is always something you missed the first time around.
