Herberton Heritage Day

About 1500 visitors attended the recent Pioneer Weekend at the Herberton Historic Village.  The owners, Craig and Connie Kimberley said that this fifth annual event had been 'unbelievable' and a perfect time for the opening of the new John Deere Tractor Shed.  With traditional mining skills like tin panning and hand-steel drilling displays and wood chopping competitions and music from bush bands, this event is becoming a real folk heritage festival.  Craig and Connie were already looking forward to a bigger and better one next year.
