Information

The Temple site is a significant and fascinating reminder of the rich history of the Gulf Savannah Region and the role that the area played in the development of Queensland, as a state and Australia as a Federation of States and later a Commonwealth. Extensive research has been undertaken to provide visitors with an understanding and appreciation of the Chinese settlement and their contribution to the development of the region.

Take a stroll around the Chinese Heritage Trail, see the remains of the original Temple and the remnants of the second largest pig roasting oven in the southern hemisphere. Read more about the Chinatown inhabitants of this once thriving site on the beautiful sandstone plinths placed along the heritage walk, which meanders throughout the site.

Entry is free and is open all year round.
