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.

Take a wander and see the Historic Village Herberton for yourself. A country soundtrack, open spaces and a place where history still feels close enough to touch.

Standing next to something that once powered it all.
Engines like this kept towns running, driving machinery, generating power and doing the heavy lifting long before modern systems took over.
Not exactly small scale.

Not all old remedies were as harmless as they looked. Mrs Winslow’s Soothing Syrup was once given to infants to settle them… without many realising it contained morphine 💊 Makes you think twice about what sat on the chemist’s shelf.

The grocer’s store at the Historic Village was once the heart of everyday life. Shelves lined with tea, soap and staples, all measured out by hand and wrapped to go. Take your time in here. There is more to notice than you think.
