Liston

Situated high in the Great Dividing Range, Liston is a quiet rural village surrounded by beautiful, rolling farmland. The region has a rich agricultural history, with cattle grazing, lavender farming and market gardening still prominent today. In the late 1800s, the discovery of tin, silver and lead sparked a mining boom that created a diverse community, including a significant Chinese population. Once home to bustling townships like Wilson's Downfall and Amosfield, the famous Cobb and Co operated along routes that are now part of the Mount Lindesay highway. Liston retains fascinating traces of its vibrant past, sure to intrigue those who care to look for it.

Close to Boonoo Boonoo National Park, Liston is a great base for birdwatchers—with regular sightings of wedge-tailed eagles, lyrebirds, king parrots and the endangered glossy black cockatoo.
