Calliope, QLD

Former gold town of the 1860s. Remains of diggings can be found and it is worth fossicking in the gullies. Calliope Spring Fair is in September.

On the banks of the Calliope River. Just to the north of the shire capital is the Port Curtis Historical Village, which conserves significant pioneer buildings and artefacts. Built on the successive fortunes of local timber-getters, wool growers, beef barons and the transient fortunes of the goldminers.

Calliope is close to the junction of the Bruce and Dawson highways. As a consequence, it is a convenient spot to take in the sights and scenery of the surrounding tablelands, Boyne River Valley, the expansive Lake Awoonga, the peaks of Mt Castletower National Park and Tannum Sands and Boyne Island south of Gladstone.
