Atherton Tablelands best kept secret - The Herberton Spy Camera museum has all the ingredients of a thriller - CIA agents, KGB spy cameras and global espionage.


Situated in the heart of Herberton - the historic tin mining town, an area which offers abundant wildlife and impressive waterfalls. A must for photographers and nature lovers alike.

Cameras have been an important part of our known history. Housing this fabulous collection is one of Herberton's oldest historical buildings - the Jack & Newell General Merchants building built in 1880. This represents the starting point for the development of North Queensland.

This collection was started over forty years ago by ex Intelligence Operative Roy Jacques and his own personal spy cameras are still on display.

World's rarest, oldest and smallest cameras. Oldest sewing machines, police pocket watch camera 1904, KGB Russian spy cameras, Hitler German cameras and Leica Gold cameras. Come and see the Nikon million dollar collectable cameras and a 1910 Edison dance record player. Aerial – hospital – weather cameras, exotic press/newspaper cameras and movie cameras.

Also on show is the EXTREMELY RARE Ducati camera, stereo cameras, miniature spy cameras and a painting by the world's best portrait artist. The Museum also houses a massive library featuring many famous camera and photographic books.

Come on in and enjoy a personalised tour. Digital camera demonstration - advice available and there is a darkroom and studio on the premises.
