Departing from historic Hervey's Range Heritage Tea Rooms (circa 1865), board an air conditioned coach for Mountain Way Tunnel Tours. You will experience pioneering history as you travel a short distance before passing through the first of a series of spectacular tunnels that leads you to views that you will never forget. Billy tea/coffee, damper and Golden Syrup and jam are all part of this breathtaking tour.
You will breathe the air in an ancient forest, cast your eye over views seen previously by stockmen alone. This truly is Mother Nature's land.
Located at the top of Hervey's Range, the former Eureka Hotel, built in 1865 has been restored and opened to the public as Hervey's Range Heritage Tea Rooms. It remains one of the few slab sided inn's left standing in Australia. Once a welcome sight to weary travellers and their horse and bullock teams en route to the gold fields, it stands on the original site and has been lovingly restored to its former glory, offering everyone the opportunity to not only experience the oldest building in North Queensland, but the peace and tranquility of the country, great food, coffee and a very warm welcome.
"It's history and nature. It's an outback experience that will touch your soul."
