WOW - We stopped off into this Information Centre as we had read the booklet and decided this was a great introduction for us to read and see the exibits here. The displays steps one back into the history on Aboriginal culture, early explorers, pioneer and early history, the war years, the Mt Mulligan mine disaster and the timber and tobacco-growing industries.

| Wayne has looked at a lot of timber exhibits and has not seen a timber jack that Dad had?!?! |
 |
| This 100 year old house was purchased and moved from within the town of Mareeba and restored here comprising of two buildings - one the kitchen area and the other the living and bedrooms. |
 |
| Wonderful history of the tobacco industry in this area. |
 |
| No I did not remember having to do the milking by hand. Dad had machines. |
 |
| The street replicating an old township. |
Yes, we did spend a couple of hours looking through this place and it is well worth a visit.
We then headed on down to Lakeside Tourist Park where we will stay for a week to spend time visiting all the interesting places up here in the Tableland.
