Experience the otherworldly beauty and diversity of the culturally significant Carnarvon Gorge as you journey through the Central Queensland Highlands in the north, the flourishing crop country of the Lockyer Valley and Somerset in the east, Queensland’s cotton capital of Goondiwindi in the west; the tranquil lakes and weirs and the ancient Bunya Mountains of the Western Downs, then head south to Australia’s highest wine region – the Southern Downs & Granite Belt. With the beautiful Garden City of Toowoomba and surrounds right in the middle, and over 150 small quintessential country towns dotted in between, there are an abundance of bespoke experiences to unearth.
Each corner of the region is distinctly different offering the ultimate day trip, weekender, or a little longer for the get-out-of-towners, wholesome family getaway-ers, part time explorers and even the most daring of adventure-seekers. Climbing precariously balanced granite boulders, hiking through UNESCO-listed rainforests, stunning waterfalls, fields of bright yellow sunflowers, award-winning wines, as well as museums full of foundational history and heritage – these are just some of the adventures awaiting you. Plan your trip in line with one of our many hero events featuring cultural celebrations to quirky festivals. There is something to meet everyone’s tastes. Pair these epic activities with bespoke accommodation, local artisanal produce, and friendly characters boasting country hospitality and tales to tell by the bucket loads. It’s all here in Queensland Country – we look forward to welcoming you.
