Chillagoe is the Australian outback on the doorstep of Cairns - a remarkable destination in a spectacular landscape strewn with ancient coral reefs, fantastic cave systems and the debris of numerous mining ventures. It is a haven for wildlife, with dozens of bird and animal species uniquely Australian. Chillagoe also has many marble mines, producing marble known for its array of beautiful colours and exported throughout the world.
Chillagoe is located in dry savannah country, making it the perfect location for stargazing. With its expansive clear, dark skies, you'll wonder at the spectacle of the Milky Way with its multitudes of stars.
