Herberton is a rural town and locality in the Tablelands Region, Queensland, Australia.[2][3] In the 2021 census, the locality of Herberton had a population of 895 people.[1]
Geography
[edit]Herberton is on the Atherton Tableland in Far North Queensland. It is situated 918 metres (3,012 ft) high on the Great Dividing Range south-west of Atherton. Vegetation ranges from tropical rainforest to the east, wet sclerophyll forests to the north and east and open sclerophyll forests and woodlands to the north and west.[citation needed]
The Atherton–Herberton Road enters from the north, and Longlands Gap–Herberton Road exits to the south.[4]
History
[edit]![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/StateLibQld_1_135881_Cosmopolitan_Hotel%2C_Herberton%2C_1888.jpg/220px-StateLibQld_1_135881_Cosmopolitan_Hotel%2C_Herberton%2C_1888.jpg)
The first European exploration of this area, part of the traditional land of the Dyirbal, was undertaken in 1875 by James Venture Mulligan. Mulligan was prospecting for gold, but instead found tin. The town of Herberton was established on 19 April 1880 by John Newell to exploit the tin find, and mining began on 9 May 1880. By September 1880, Herberton had a population of 300 men and 27 women. Herberton Post Office opened on 22 November 1880.[5]
The town's name is attributed to John Newell. It is believed he named it after the Herbert River whose northern tributary (Wild River) flows through Herberton and/or after Robert George Wyndham Herbert, the first Premier of Queensland (after whom the Herbert River is named).[2]
In July 1881, the residents of Herberton had raised £115 for the construction of a school. Herberton Provisional School opened on 12 December 1881 with 35 students in the Herberton Hall; the fee was one shilling per week for the first child of a family with an additional sixpence a week for each additional child.[6][7] In October 1882 the Queensland Government reserved five acres and two roods for a state school and called for tenders to erect a state school and teacher's residence.[8][9] In November 1882 the contract for the buildings was awarded to James Pasley to construct the buildings using hardwood in nine months for £2,040.[10] In April 1883 the Queensland Government officially announced that there would be a new state school in Herberton.[11] The actual opening date of the new state school is unclear but Thomas Peter Wood was appointed headmaster of Herberton State School from 1 January 1884, so the school was operational at that time.[12] In 1912 the school was one of the first five schools in Queensland to receive a secondary department, commencing operations on 15 February 1912 with the arrival of the teacher Miss Ramsay B.A. who would teach two languages, English history, mathematics, and science.[13] In 1994, a new primary school campus was established with the secondary department remaining on the original school site.[14]
In January 1882, the Queensland Government called for tenders to construct a telegraph line to Herberton.[15] In March 1882 they called for tenders for a post and telegraph office.[16]
The Herberton parish of the Roman Catholic Vicariate Apostolic of Cooktown (now the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cairns) was established in 1884.[17] On Sunday 17 March 1889 the Bishop of Cooktown John Hutchinson blessed and opened St Patrick's Catholic church in Herberton.[18]
Herberton Presbyterian Church was constructed in 1891, opening on 15 November 1891. In 1977 following the amalgamation of many Presbyterian churches into Uniting Church in Australia, it became the Herberton Uniting Church.[19][20] On Friday 25 November 2022, the church was destroyed in a fire.[21]
In the late 19th century, the Mulligan Highway was carved through the hills from Herberton and passed through what is now Main Street, Atherton, before continuing down to Port Douglas. This road was used by the coaches of Cobb and Co to access Western Queensland.[citation needed]
The tin mining in Herberton motivated the Queensland Government to build a railway line to connect Herberton to a coastal port. Three ports were considered: Port Douglas, Cairns and Geraldton (now Innisfail), all involving a crossing of the Great Dividing Range. The route from Innisfail was shortest but would go through the roughest terrain crossing the Great Dividing Range. The route from Port Douglas was the easiest to build but it would be longest. Eventually Cairns was chosen as it had the best port (and the unstable geology of the proposed Barron Gorge route was not known at that time) and the first section of the Tablelands railway from Cairns to Redlynch at the base of the range was opened on 8 October 1887. However, the railway to Herberton was not completed until 20 October 1910 by which time the tin mining boom was over.[22] The Tablelands railway continued from Herberton to Tumoulin opening on 31 July 1911 and then to Ravenshoe opening on 11 December 1916.[23][24]
St Mary's Anglican School for girls was opened in 1918 by the Sisters of the Sacred Advent.[25] The school closed in 1965.[6]

Mount St Bernard College was established on 1 February 1921 by the Sisters of Mercy.[6]
The Herberton branch of the Queensland Country Women's Association opened in 1925. In 1949 the branch acquired a building in William Street and named it the Janet Newell C.W.A. Memorial Hall to commemorate the late Janet Newell, a long-serving branch president. Janet Newell was the wife of John Newell and the daughter of William Jack, the founders of Herberton and of the chain of Jack & Newell stores, the first of which was the Jack & Newell General Store in Herberton.[26] The C.W.A. hall was officially opened by two of Janet Newell's sons.[27]
Tin mining ceased in Herberton in 1985.[citation needed]
The railway line from Atherton to Ravenshoe was closed in 1988 due to the World Heritage Listing of Queensland's Wet Tropics. However, the section between Herberton and Tumoulin can still be used and the Ravenshoe Steam Railway operate heritage steam train tours along the route.[28]
The Herberton Public Library opened in 1995 with a major refurbishment in 2016.[29]

A Heritage Walk for tourists that takes in some of the old buildings and historical features of the town is a popular attraction. Historic Village Herberton is a 16-acre representation of a mining town filled with streets of buildings of the time, each one a museum in its own right with exhibits such as vintage machinery, cars and Australian antiques. It has more than 50 restored period buildings.[41]
The Herberton Spy & Camera Museum houses antique spy cameras, a photographic gallery and photographic memorabilia with guided tours through the museum and a working photographer and photographic studio.[citation needed]
Most recently, a railway museum has been established by volunteers in the former Herberton railway station building. This is operated by volunteers and only open part-time.[citation needed]
The Tepon Equestrian Grounds[42] just out of Herberton have recently been upgraded with a large undercover pavilion for equestrian and other sporting events such as cycling and mountain biking. Local markets are held on the 3rd Sunday of every month at the Wondecla Oval.[citation needed]

Atherton Herberton Historic Railway The Atherton-Herberton Historic Railway Inc. (AHHR) is dedicated to the preservation and display of local railway memorabilia including the operation of a first-class Tourist and Historic rail journey. The AHHR is in the historic town of Herberton, the oldest town on the Atherton Tablelands and is situated amongst many other tourist attractions. AHHR has several attractions providing tourists and visitors from across the world with a rail journey on their unique Tinlander train which links Herberton to the multi award-winning outdoor museum, the Historic Village Herberton. Visitors are also taken back in time through a static museum and can view a multi-year restoration project where a 1905 built steam locomotive and 1910 timber railway carriage restoration are underway. This train attraction will be fully operational in 2021. The main business location consists of the original Herberton Railway Station, rebuilt after a fire in 1936 and provides an outlook over the existing railway lines, restored steam trains and carriages. In addition, several restoration sheds are used to repair trains and carriages to give them a new lease on life and provide additional displays for the museum. The organisation has commenced restoration to a very high standard of 3 kilometres of previously Queensland Rail maintained railway track back to an operational condition between Herberton Station and Historic Village Herberton. In addition, 2.5 kilometres of railway track from Platypus Park Station Atherton has been restored with ongoing vegetation and drainage work revitalising and maintaining the track towards Wongabel.[citation needed]
