Central Queensland gorges, hinterland and gemfields

Hinterland and Gemfields

Visit the thriving regional centres of Biloela and Emerald, hubs to the surrounding agricultural districts. Then head further west to the Sapphire Gemfields where you can enjoy the experience of fossicking for sapphires. This area is famed for cattle-rearing and home to some of the state's largest cattle stations. It's also mining country, from the former gold workings of Mt Morgan to the mighty open cut coal fields near Moura.
