Abstract

The Irvinebank and Stannary Hills Tramways which operated from 1900 to 1942 extended twenty-eight miles through some of the most spectacular gorge country and open forest country in the Cairns Hinterland in North Queensland. This paper is a review of both of them in relation to mining heritage.
