Nebo Accommodation, Hotels, Tours & Information

Nebo

Nebo has a diverse array of offerings, with significant coal deposits, prime gazing land and crop cultivation. Historical sites in the region include Lake Elphinstone, the Mount Britton Gold Mining site, and the intrepid traveller can find the site where Leichhardt camped as he explored the region in 1845. In the early 1980's, to celebrate the Shire's Centenary in the 1983, a group of locals began the process of gathering the many relics of the past and putting them together in a museum collection originally situated in the old Nebo Police Station. Today's relocated museum is a tribute to that effort and to the pioneers of the past and well worth a visit. The Nebo Shire Museum is the result of many locals coming together to gather relics and information on the Shire's past. Nebo has a diverse and interesting history and this can be viewed by visiting the museum. The Pioneer Tracks of Queensland Gallery is housed in the Marley Accommodation Centre complex just outside Nebo on the highway. The Gallery houses a photographic collection of the early years of the settlement of the State.
