The Diggers Entertainment Centre is located at the Eastern end of our 'main street' - Brodie Street. The first building was erected in 1926 by Odd Fellows Lodge, going on to be the Returned Sailors' Soldiers' and Airmens' Imperial League Hall in 1958 and than to be knocked down and rebuilt as the Diggers Entertainment Centre in July of 2002. This hall is used for numerous social events nowadays.

Porcupine Gorge National Park is located approximately 72km North of Hughenden. This picturesque gorge is a marvel in itself and is a must see when visiting the Flinders Shire area. There are view points from the top of the gorge, a swimming hole at the base, walking tracks at your leisure and plenty of flora and fauna to marvel at. Camping is available, however bookings are a must. See you soon!

We drove to Porcupine Gorge from Hughenden on bitumen all the way. There are points of interest along the way that are well worth visiting if you have time. The Pyne’s Lookout on a ridge featuring bottle/baobab trees was one of the standouts. Short climb for great views over the area - not wheelchair accessible. Signage to the gorge walk and campgrounds was helpful. A visit to the Gorge Lookout before doing the gorge walk is recommended. It is truly spectacular. The gorge walk consists of many steps down and then of course up! It’s steep but quite accessible. Take time at the bottom to walk in both directions up and down the gorge. There was water there with fish and swimming possibilities. We kept walking past the Pyramid formation down to a deep waterhole with wonderful views. Read the information about the geological formation of the gorge before visiting so you don’t miss the feeling of standing on 100 million year old rock formations. The base of the Pyramid dates to nearly 300 million years. Incredible place. A visit to the Discovery Centre in Hughenden is also highly recommended. The short presentation on the formation of the gorge is very instructive. Overall, we loved our visit and appreciated its grandeur. Read other reviews and heed their advice to go early before the heat.
