The BEST Things To Do in Abingdon Downs QLD

This place was interesting and very informative. Our whole family enjoyed Kronosaurus Korner.

They have friendly barmen serving cold beers.

Chillagoe Observatory & Eco Lodge is well maintained. There are lots of space for unpowered camping. Great amenities, too.

I went to the Herberton Mining Museum on the recommendation of the Herberton Historic Village. Whilst it is a great display - I tried toask the two older gentlemen questions as my family had been working on the tin mines there so I keen to find out more info. They were indifferent and more interested in listening to music or something on their phones and TV - it was really disappointing after attending the informative historic village. I do realise these are volunteer positions.

troopy says this information centre is definitely a must-visit and it's one of the friendliest centres they've visited. The feeding of the Dunnart, a tiny mouse-like marsupial found in the area, was fascinating, plus they enjoyed a virtual reality experience of helicopter mustering. Nothing was too much trouble.
