Southern Downs Region

Just 90 minutes from Brisbane, the Southern Downs offers a refreshing escape into Queensland’s cool country. Explore the Granite Belt’s boutique wineries, hike through Girraween National Park’s granite landscapes, or stroll heritage streets in Warwick and Stanthorpe. Taste seasonal produce, unwind in cosy country stays, or join locals at events like the Apple & Grape Harvest Festival and Jumpers & Jazz in July. With four distinct seasons and a warm welcome year-round, it’s a region made for slowing down and soaking it all in.
