Built in 1900 and restored in 1986, the National Trust listed Railway Station with its wrought iron lacework and pillared portico is without doubt Emerald's most photographed attraction.

Walking around Emerald, you get the impression that this town could almost be two entirly different towns.
Some of the old buildings are beautifully preserved, and have that old world charm about them.

Things To Do: Emerald Court House
|
Tip Rating: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Courthouse is a small but modern building.. and appears to have been built quite recently. Though, for some reason, it appears to be situated in the wrong place. The surrounding buildings are all 'a bit of this, and a bit of that'.. making it not very appealing.

Another building that seems to be sitting in entirely the wrong place. It was hard to pin point the era this building may have been built, but it was neither old or new.

Things To Do: Art Gallery

The Art Gallery was a big disappointment to me. Even in quaint little towns, you find that the art gallery is a place of pride, a place where you feel yourself being drawn inside.. Not so here, unfortunately.

Peak hour traffic in Emerald.. ;-)
For a town this size, I found it to be way too quiet. The only places that had a lot of activity, were the many pubs and clubs.

Just a short drive through citrus orchards takes you to Lake Maraboon, Queensland's second largest lake which was formed when the Fairbairtn Dam was built across the Hogoa River.
Campers on the lake shores can hand-feed parrots and possums and fish for the Murray cod, saratoga and other fresh-water varieties, with which Maraboon is stocked.
