Central Highlands Regional Council

Listing Details

Take a real holiday in Queensland's Central Highlands. Emerald is the hub of this region with the Sapphire Gemfields, Capella and Springsure nearby. Spend your time in Emerald exploring the beautiful Botanic Gardens, view the world's largest Van Gogh sunflower painting or follow Emerald's history along the Centenary of Federation Mosaic Pathway. If fishing and watersports are more your scene, visit Lake Maraboon (Aboriginal for 'where the black duck fly'). Try your luck fossicking for gems at the Sapphire Gemfields, the largest commercial sapphire fields in the Southern Hemisphere. If you don't find a 'big one', be tempted by a little shopping at some of the many gem galleries and jewellery stores. Tour a walk-in underground mine or just soak up the gemfields experience. Explore some of the region's national parks near Springsure and visit the 'Peak Downs' Homestead at Capella - Australia's largest restored drop-slat, shingle-roofed station homestead. For real experiences and to meet real people make your next destination Emerald, the Sapphire Gemfields and the Central Highlands region.
