It has been a long haul but our main entry is finally finished and looks great! Our patrons are now able to access the Village through a much more attractive entry point, though the Main building is still receiving it's final touches inside. 

Part of the entry statement is a statement that really sums up how far we have come in terms of development of the area and transport.  The Department of Transport and Main Roads have expanded on this statement by providing to our visitors a wonderful display at the Train Station that shows just how infrastructure has improved in Queensland during this time. 

The display is full of interesting information and curios. Patrons can take the QT Quiz or test their reaction time on the Brake Tester, (this is popular with students and adults!)

 

So don't miss this great display when next you visit the Village - It's on the way to the ever popular train ride!

Spring is well and truly here - warm, sunny and longer days stimulating plants and trees with a spectacular display of flowers. 

 The orchids in the rainforest are a wonderful sight to see while visiting the Village. The rainforest area is also looking good because of major pruning, removal and replanting around the dam by the Horticulture Society and Village volunteers.   The new water fountain at the entrance also received a lot of attention - especially from school children - as they experience and learn how old technology was used to get water from the ground with some magic modern plumbing by Ray, an inventive Village Volunteer,  to produce water from the structure.

 

The CAYS Group is back in the Village again making their presence obvious in many areas.  Major projects include relocation of the machinery display, the construction of a gazebo and the removal / relocation of part of the AMRSQ shed.

 

The Horse Yard and associated buildings and machinery are receiving a lot of attention with an upgrade in presentation .  The landscaping and the reconstruction of the horse whim are also projects in this area that are on the go.

 

The school has undergone another major improvement with the addition of memorabilia items being put on display. Everything from the dreaded teachers' cane, rules and learning material.  It's one of the most outstanding and popular displays with our visitors - especially teachers and school students.  Much thanks to our volunteer curatorial staff!

A great time to visit the Village!
