21.01.2022 In those days you made use of everything you had. A miner's pick became a hoe for the vegetables.

20.01.2022 After reviewing the recommendations of Museums & Galleries Queensland, as a precaution we have decided to temporarily close our museums and heritage sites acros...s Queensland as well as Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary.

11.01.2022 Head down and have a look at the latest exhibition at the Old Post Office Gallery and Chinatown Museum. I was blown away!

11.01.2022 Thanks to support from Queensland Museum development officers Jo and Ewan, plus mountains of work from our amazing volunteers the Hou Wang Temple complex is coming along nicely.

10.01.2022 Our Temple features in the South China Morning Post newspaper.... An interesting read.

09.01.2022 This was shared on our local You Know You Grew Up or Love the Atherton Tablelands When. facebook page. It is a fascinating insight into life when the Temple was part of a thriving community. Have a read, it's quite long but very, very interesting - the memoirs of a lady who lived close to the Temple and Chinatown as a child in the early 1900s. Thank you Karen Heath for allowing us to share her story. National Trust of Australia Queensland

02.01.2022 Atherton's Hou Wang Temple shares strong links to Chinese history across North Queensland. It would be wonderful to be able to visit these displays, now on in Townsville.
