Established in 1882, it boasts many century old buildings such as the home of the town’s founder John Moffat, said to be the oldest ‘Queenslander’ in the State. A courthouse and cellblock, the 1901 School of Arts Hall, Tramway Station, the Queensland National Bank Building, Mango Cottage and the 1907 Post Office building all attest to the architecture of prosperity at the turn of last century. The ‘Mighty Vulcan’ mine became the mainstay of the town, yielding the purest available tin in the world at the 1907 London World Expo.
