Howqua Hills Historic Area is a site of natural beauty where you can rediscover the days of gold mining and settlement in the area as you walk past historic relics from times gone by.
Aborigines used the Howqua River as a major trade and war route across the Great Dividing Range. European settlement began in the 1840s by the pastoral company Watson and Hunter. Grazing has continued through until the present.
The discovery of alluvial gold at Cameron's Creek in the 1860s heralded major changes for the valley. The rush was short-lived and by 1905 all major goldmining operations had come to an end.
