Western Downs Region

Just a few hours west of Brisbane, the Western Downs is a patchwork of heritage towns, farmland, and wide horizons. Join the fun at Chinchilla’s Melon Festival, Tara’s camel races, or the vintage-themed Miles Back to the Bush Festival. Explore Lake Broadwater’s birdlife, stroll the Bunya Mountains trails, or unwind in country towns like Dalby and Wandoan. With quirky events, fresh local produce, and warm welcomes, it’s a region full of character and colour.
