The Queensland Heritage Trails Network brings to life stories, legends, evidence of incredible feats, epic events in history, rich landscapes, colourful tales and characters that have shaped Queensland. The Queensland Heritage Trails Network links together 43 authentic heritage experiences, such as the new Qantas Founders Outback Museum, making it easier for visitors to discover more of the State's unique history, culture and natural wonders.

With most of the attractions opened by the end of 2002, they preserve and celebrate our culture, showcase our rich social, natural and Indigenous history - all the while creating jobs and educational programs as well as economic benefits for local communities through increased tourism.

At each attraction, history comes to life through multi-media, interactive displays, exhibitions and hands-on experiences. From our night skies and dinosaur tracks to pastoral beginnings, the Network will add a new dimension to your Queensland holiday.

It's a Network that celebrates and preserves for future generations the legends of our Indigenous communities, pioneering feats, pastoral, mining, wool and railway industries, ancient dinosaur relics, Aboriginal legends of the stars and much, much more.

Journeys along the Queensland Heritage Trails Network can start from any part of Queensland, with tourist trails following sealed roads.

The $110 million Queensland Heritage Trails Network is an Australian first, funded through the Queensland and Commonwealth Governments in partnership with local government authorities and local communities.

An additional $3M has been invested in funding more than 60 small grants through the Cultural Tourism Incentive Program. These projects include a wide range of conservation and interpretation projects which add to the quality and diversity of the 43 major cultural attractions.
