Irvinebank is situated 80 km south west of Cairns on the beautiful Atherton Tablelands.
There is a (generally) good dirt road for a short while and suddenly you arrive at this little town where time has stood still since prior to WW1.
To enter the town is to experience what a tin mining town was like before World War I.
It is a place where time has stood still so the you are able to wander through the mill owner's house (Loudoun House); inspect remnants of the mines and the mining equipment; and admire the historic old buildings
There is a friendly family tavern with gold coin donation camping across the road from the tavern.
Hot showers are available.
It is advisable to check road conditions prior to travelling.
