    Descrição

    Hi Guys, my cottage in the pretty hills of herberton is just 2 minutes walk to the lovely state forest rich with tin mining history beautiful native forest lots of birdlife & the odd sighting of wallaroos. The wild river is just 5 minutes walk, there is a flat walking trail & its a good swimming spot when its in good flow

    The village has a small supermarket, library for internet,# I have No WIFII for Guests# 2 pubs a chemist 3 cafes & a hardware store. Also if you get a simm card for Atherton Tablelands area, make sure you get Telstra, Vodafone has poor coverage up here.
