Set in the Queen River Valley, Queenstown is a frontier town founded in 1883 is full of mining heritage. Queenstown's museum, old buildings and railway tell of days gone by 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.
