Kyeburn

During Kyeburn’s gold mining years, you would have found hotels, stores, a butchery, a bakery, and a school – Upper Kyeburn is still rich in gold mining history.

There is a  bridge that crosses the Kyeburn River on State Highway 85, which is known as the Pigroot. The Kyeburn School no longer runs, but this historic building still stands on the corner of the Pigroot and the Kyeburn-Danseys Road. You will find more history from Kyeburn at the Mt Buster White Sands in the Mount Ida Range, which reveals carved diggings in the white sand. Upper Kyeburn you will find a historic cemetery.
