Richmond

Richmond is Diamantina’s capital and largest city, home to nearly 240,000 people. During the late 1860s, it was the site of the Jarraban’s only large-scale gold rush, which rapidly allured many foreign miners to the area hoping to “strike it rich”. This unique past and consequent array of historic buildings has made the city notable today. The surrounding region is also the country’s largest wine producer, containing numerous locally and internationally-acclaimed vineyards.
