Step back in time and be amazed by the ingenuity and determination shown by one man with a dream. Paronella Park today is a celebration of the Paronella family's achievements, particularly those of its founder, José Paronella. On arrival, our guests are taken through the many highlights of the Park on a 45-minute storytelling tour. This tour sets the scene for the rest of your visit. Paronella Park has something for everyone. Fantastic photo opportunities, remarkable architecture, an incredible story, 5ha of tropical gardens, a fully restored and operational 1930's hydroelectric generator, wildlife and fish feeding, a boutique caravan and camping grounds, a café with fresh local produce and much more.Set on 16 acres, the Historic Village Herberton is a tin mining town with shops, pubs, banks, chemists, grocer, printer, and garage. More than 50 restored period buildings are making this outdoor museum the most significant in Queensland. The Historic Village Herberton is an outdoor museum presenting the story of Australia’s pioneering past. Its particular focus is on the tin-mining town of Herberton, which is its home. Herberton is the oldest town on the Tablelands, established in 1880 on the back of a tin mining boom. The Historic Village pays homage to this era when mining dominated the mineral-rich mountains of the Atherton Tablelands. It has a strong interest in turn of the century machinery and small engines, transport, fashion, pharmaceuticals, motor vehicles, and war memorabilia. Priceless Australian collections from grocery items and tobacco to treasured dolls and toys also feature prominently throughout the museum.Hand feed a wild colony of Mareeba Rock Wallabies first identified as a rare new species at the Gorge in 1996
