AUSTRALIAN WORKERS HERITAGE CENTRE

Public BBQ

The main reason to stop in Barcaldine, and a far bigger site than it first appears. The centre traces the 1891 shearers' strike, the thirteen men jailed in the 1890s for organising, the unions that grew out of the dispute and the founding of the Australian Labor Party. Displays are extensive and well set out, spread across a series of buildings, with a billabong, gardens, trains and machinery through the grounds and shaded walking paths with places to stop and rest along the way. An hour is not enough — plenty of visitors come back a second day to finish it. The Tree of Knowledge stands nearby, with its propagated offspring growing on site, and the town's heritage trail links the two.
