After only a 25 km drive there is the tiny township of Einasleigh, which used to be a thriving mining community (with 5 pubs, a hospital, school, police station, shops, etc)The train to Einasleigh from Forsayth has recently stopped because the track was damaged by flooding with no plans yet for repairs. The last pub is for sale and the little van park seems to be the centre of activity.
However, a short walk from the pub is the stunning Copperfield Gorge.
