Chillagoe is located 141 kilometres west of Mareeba and 205 kilometres west of Cairns and is one of the most interesting and unusual places in northern Queensland. Chillagoe offers visitors the rare combination of a relic copper mine, historic town attractions, limestone caves and Aboriginal rock paintings. If the mining history of Chillagoe is what brought you out, be sure to head for the museum. Wander through informative sites and don't forget to include the town cemetery in your walks. Keep in mind that mining is not the only option in town and it would be a shame to leave without sampling some of the other incredible Chillagoe attractions! Chief amongst them are the substantial systems of limestone caves at the Chillagoe-Montana National Park, located approximately one kilometre from town. There are over 560 known caves in the area, and some feature spectacular formations of stalactites and stalagmites. From the caves there's a walking track to the nearby Balancing Rock formation and some Aboriginal rock art, or you may prefer to walk the nine kilometre return track to Royal Arch Bluff, looking for wallabies and birds. If you head west out of town for 14 kilometres you'll find The Archways, another stunning limestone feature. Chillagoe also contains an observatory, and offers chances to explore for fossils, plus every year in May the Great Wheelbarrow Race finishes in the town and is an iconic event well worth a look.The best source of up to date information about tours, sites and walks is the Chillagoe Hub Visitor Information Centre, located on Queen Street.Tourist/Visitor Centre       Chillagoe VIC, 21-23 Queen St, Chillagoe QLDPh: 07 4094 7111chillagoehubinfo@bigpond.comwww.chillagoehub.com.auCasual Parking       Queen, Cathedral St & Towers StShort Term Parking           Chillagoe Observatory & Eco Lodge1 Hospital Ave$10pppn unpoweredDump Point   Rodeo Grounds, Frew StPotable Water          See General store & VIC for locationsHospital        21 Hospital Rd, Ph: 07 4094 7500Dentist           Chillagoe HospitalPharmacy     Chillagoe General Store, 11 Queen St, Ph: 07 4094 7100

Keith is a small farming town in the south-east of South Australia, 225 kilometres from Adelaide. Located at the intersection of the Dukes Highway and the Riddoch Highway, Keith is known as the gateway to the Limestone Coast. The township of Keith was proclaimed in 1889 with agriculture as its base. The region was once known as the Ninety Mile Desert however thanks to modern farming techniques it has been transformed. The underground aquifer allows for significant irrigation to take place in the area. Local artist James Darling created a water feature titled ‘Circle Work’ in the town centre. The art piece celebrates the vital cycle of water through the Australian landscape. Keith is known as the Lucerne capital of Australia. Herds of sheep and cattle make up the majority of livestock while crops of wheat, barley, small seeds and olives are also grown.Visitors to Keith can find short and long-term parking at Keith Showground, cnr Emu Flat Rd & Showground Pde.
