The city of Emerald, located in Queensland, Australia, was established in 1879, by Ludwig Leichhardt, on the site of the Nogoa River. The estimated population of Emerald is more than 15,000 people and is increasing due to local job opportunities in the industrial fields. Emerald industrial sectors cover fruit plantations, cotton areas and coal processing from the mines around the city. Emerald City is the place where precious stones meets cotton cultures in the development of a large and powerful industrial area, that can still offer cultural and active touristic attractions for anyone.
