Peak Downs town of Capella began as a coachstop linking mining and agricultural producers with the coast. These days, Capella’s lifeblood are the black soil-based graziers and pastoralists and the regional coal fields.
Pioneer Village on the town’s northern outskirts traces Capella’s
role in the fluctuating fortunes of the Peak Range and Peak Downs corner of
central Queensland. The village displays include Peak Downs Homestead, a shingle-roofed
cottage built in 1869 by artisans using adzed and pit-sawn local timbers.
The town takes its name from the reddish, eighth brightest star in the southern
sky.
