An unusual town which is set on a ridge of the rolling hills of the Atherton Tablelands.
Historically a tin town with both a mine and a smelter nearby.
the Historic Village has been the main attraction in the town for decades and
has expanded dramatically. The construction of an outstanding
Mining Museum and Visitor Information Centre has added to the town's attractions.
The Mining Museum has a number of pleasant walks which evoke the mining past of the town.
