Set in the Queen River Valley this frontier town, founded in 1883, evidences its rich mining heritage. The museum, old buildings and railway tell of bygone days when this was a thriving gold and copper town. Today Queenstown is a premier visitor destination offering tours and outdoor activities such as rainforest walks and trout fishing. One of the main attractions is the ABT Railway, built to carry copper and supplies between Queenstown and
Strahan, now restored to its former glory. A unique attraction is the stark beauty of Queenstown’s iconic landscape with the quartz rocks reflecting a myriad of colours at sunset.
