We visited Township of Herberton today and its a small place just one main street has a few older style building about town and it was near empty and as it was close to Lunch we decided to eat in the old Pub. Its an old Pub Opened in 1889 and is still going and is for sale too. Its has a single operator as most pubs up this way has for a sunday afternoon. Lunch was good and hot and we had a fire burning near by but really not cold enough just yet for that. We were going to visit the Historic Village, but it seems next weekend is the best weekend to come so we will return but what to do for ret of day. The local Pub owner said if you go out along this road you we see some interesting things, he was not wrong about that check out below. We had fun and please do try to visit here and if you are into bikes and trail riding its the place to visit as tracks go everywhere around here. The link that goes to the village is below and will be filled after next week with stuff |

The inside of pub has not changed a lot over the years and I guess its not a big place, but fire was nice.
We will ad more photos to this page next week when we return the weather today was so grey and dull and I wanted to show the place under the bright sun that would add to town so come back after next week. I put this up today as if I don't I get just too many pages to add and I will miss something I am sure. |
The food was good, Ellen's was 60's fish and chips that why the newspaper hers was in there

Down the dirt road we went out to where the old mines and mining for tin etc was done and there are small plots of land where people who are mining sites in the bush everywhere, as you see by sign friendly bunch and creeks have great names as well.
The Back to Bones gardens were lacking gardens but Bones are everywhere

The old mine cut away the hill side and it has a lot of water in there and they got into the hill

Not sure what we have here but a orange Ant hill not seen too many let alone with a stuffed sheep on top, it was along side in the middle of nowhere ?
So next week we will visit the Historic Village and I am sure you will get to see lots of old things and videos to go with that, as well, hope you enjoy the strange things we found today
