Very good experience! I went on a scout camp for these caves and I had a very good time! Most of the caves are very open so people that get claustrophobic easily don’t have to worry. I went through 3 caves one cave we had to abseil into. There is a big walk involved but it’s worth it. Definitely would like to go there again.

The picnic spot was great, needed some shelters though as every table was in almost full sun on a very hot autumn day, but well maintained, quiet and pretty. The 600m self guided walk is awful, don't bother with it! Surrounded by weeds and fallen trees, just a mess and ugly, and the signs are so old most cant be read. That section needs a major overhaul.

The walking track is well marked, but I am not sure if the rangers have been clearing and burning, but it seems all of the "noted marks" on the path have died, or been killed off. Very strange. The markers describe a specific tree or plant, and that is dead. I hope it is not an act of vandalism. The cave entrance is sealed and out of bounds. I actually walked the rangers 4WD track, and was more impressed with the stands of trees and lush natural areas away from the self guided walk. The facilities at the main start point are well kept and of a high standard.

Went with the Scout's and it was exhilarating. Some nice little challenges which kids fly through an 8yr old. A 9 yr old and a 13yr old alll managed with ease.

All signs faded and unreadable not even worth stopping!! Ps long unsealed grave road to get to. Watch out for echidna.

I can not find any cove here but there have so many beautiful butterfly and small walk trail .

Amazing walk up top of Mount Etna well worth it and we timed in nicely for the sun to go down.. so much more to look at yet so far so good

We had an absolutely fantastic day here. The caves were beautiful and easy to traverse with wooden stairs and suspended walkways over the most difficult areas. The acoustics in the Cathedral Cave were totally awesome. Candice, our tour guide, was very informative & enthusiastic with a dry sense of humour. She made the tour thoroughly enjoyable. All the staff were very helpful & friendly. The Capricorn Caves are easy to access, just a short drive from Rockhampton. The café & gift shop were great as were the fossil displays. We only booked the short tour but will definitely be coming back to do the longer tour next time. Highly recommended.

Guided by Maisy our little three-pack had a great two-hour walk-climb-crawl tour of the caves. Straight down in the mud from the go with a snake sighting not long after (during a crawl, just for that extra bit of fun). Through and through the highlight of my three week vacation in the Cairns/Brisbane area.

What a great experience. Our guide Flynn was spot on with his guiding and passion for his horticultural knowledge. Another one of those great "don't drive past" experiences. The fact that it's all privately owned and run add an extra tick in the box. We need to support these ventures.

The Cathedral Cave tour is always an amazing experience, and I often take visitors on that tour. On this occasion I was fortunate to do the "Whispers of the Caves" night tour... well I'd highly recommend it when they run the night tour again. A unique and impressive adventure that's for sure!

The caves were quite a treat to walk through with its lovely ambient temperature & collection of micro bats. Candice did a great job guiding everyone through as well. It was nice to bring my classical guitar and play in the Cathedral room!

Cathedral tour was amazing! Tour guide was funny and engaging and very knowledgeable of the caves and critters in it! Definitely recommend and if I find myself back in the area will do one of their other tours for sure!

The Capricorn Caves was awesome. Especially the Cathedral experience. It was amazing. The tour guide was very informative and knew her stuff. Friendly staff and a lovely gift shop If you're in the area well worth the visit

Covers the period 1850-1950 with buildings from the local area. Set on spacious grounds, each building has it's own story to tell. Incredibly cheap when compared to other such venues I have visited.

For an entrance fee of $6 per person, well worth a look around for a couple of hours. Lots of effort gone into the display houses and buildings. Nice and clean and well looked after.

Absolutely loved visiting the village with all the authentic attractions from a time gone by all lovingly restored and displayed. Easy walk around all the displays and plenty of room to stop and take in all the historical sights without feeling rushed A lovely info centre and well staffed with people who were happy to chat about their village. The entry cost was relatively cheaper than most other attractions of the same calibre well worth visiting if in the area

Fantastic day spent. Lots to see. Best $6 ever for a snapshot of the past

An absolutely amazing experience, stepping back in time seeing how people lived, went to school and made a living. How far we have come in a short time

A real cross section of history. From how people lived and worked in the region. Great displays of cars and buggy, to fire and hospital with quite a few houses thrown in. I was there for 2 hours, and didnt see everything. I will be back!

What an amazing place, so much to see. Loved this place had to go back the next day to finish seeing it all. They only charged entry fee for the first entry only, so cheap only $5 to get in. The staff were amazing, so knowledgeable and friendly.

Spent over 2 hours at Mt Archer, which allows you to take in the views of Rockhampton and the Fitzroy River. Fantastic views! Great Boardwalk! The road to the top is tarred. There are picnic tables and bbq’s. There are heaps of Grass Trees (black boys) Great place for a family day out! Staying around for a wonderful sunset is a must!

Excellent lookout; well worth the drive. But don't stop at the "main" area (where the Kiosk bldg is), check out the "Nurim Circuit Elevated Boardwalk" which is about 100m away. But (IMHO) do NOT do the walk to Sliepner Lookout!

Nice view but nothing else. Just for a quick walk to take pictures.

We only did a small section of the Zion hike and it was stunning. Really well maintained, beautiful views and vegetation.

Make sure you do the short Nurim walk which is easy as it is mostly boardwalk or similar. It leads to a fantastic unobstructed view. This is important as where you first arrive on top of Mt Archer, the view is obstructed by trees.

What a magical lookout to watch the sun set over Rockhampton, this tree top canopy walk is a must see atop Mt Archer Rockhampton ☀️ “Jonique Life” Follow our journey around Australia on Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok and YouTube as we highlight wonderful experiences and magical places you can add to your ever growing bucket list.

Stunning views, good place to visit

We wanted to enjoy a gentle walk and good company, and chose Kershaw Gardens, which delivered nicely. There is a good selection of pathways, trees and shrubs to create a peaceful ambiance. For those with kids, there is a great recreation park. Toilets are available in the central area.

I’m at this park all the time as it’s close to home. Great walking tracks and bicycle tracks. In summer the mozzies are out of control and I have fled a few times because of them. Not a lot of new plants that I can see but I am pleased that they have finally cleaned up some of the water weed as I couldn’t even see where the creek ran a few months ago.

Great gardens awesome walks well maintained lots of facilities picnic tables and playgrounds

Council has done a wonderful job with the update of the camping area. Pity some people can't read the signs. Rear parking, 48hrs and no tents!

A visit to the Kershaw Gardens is very worthwhile. It provides recreational opportunities for all people and interests. There is a good botanical collection of native plants; birdwatching; a large playground to challenge toddlers and primary school kids; quite areas meet, picnic or meditate. I really enjoyed my visit during my recent holiday. Plenty of parking. John.

Great spot to stretch your legs. The gardens are well maintained and the waterfall area is very attractive. There is even a leash free area for dogs. There is a 48 hour free camp next to these gardens.

Since Kershaw Gardens has been re vamped with bitumen, line markings and clear delineation between overnight camping for SC caravans/motor homes and day parking for cars, it has been a tremendous improvement. Now with space to put out an awning and with tan bark and trees planted in rows between the back to back camping spots, everyone knows where to safely park for up to 48 hours. Soo close to walk to Stockland shopping centre without having to worry about finding a park space. Well done Kershaw Gardens.

We loved our visit here soaking in how travelling by trains was done in a bygone era and all the effort needed to make it happen! This railway station was constructed in the same architecturally pleasing style as the ones in Mt Morgan, Emerald, and Longreach. There are plenty of volunteers around to answer any questions and do guided tours for groups. There is a Cafe on-site to provide refreshments if required. Allow at least an hour to enjoy this experience.

Very interesting museum that celebrates the history of trains and trams in Rockhampton. There are a lot of interactive activities, including a ride on a historic tram (only on Sundays, I believe). Tour guides offer more insight to the exhibits.

Great staff and lots to look to at. The steam tram was well worth a look. It doesn’t go very far week days, if you want to ride the tram your better to go on the weekend.

If like me, you luv trains and trams, then you will be in Nirvana here. ✅ An awesome museum, where you can literally get hands-on with the exhibits, climbing aboard decommissioned trains and trams, as well as related operating systems, at this beautifully presented retired station. Just fantastic and I will be back ... 🚃 🚂

A really well done museum explaining the history of railways in the area On Sunday they run a historical steam tramway tour in an original steam powered tram, the only one of it’s type still working worldwide There are many other interesting exhibits in the museum and it is well worth a visit

A great railway museum housed in a former railway station. Features the only operational steam tram in Australia

The volunteers have really put their all into this place. Beautiful displays and very clever soundscape on the platform with life like models. My kids loved the ride on the tram. A well spent morning in Rockhampton.

In sun-baked Koorana, where shadows creep, A reptile world, in slumber deep. We came to see, with bated breath, The ancient jaws, that deal out death. The tour was awesome, Kia so grand, He knew the secrets of the land. He spoke of power, swift and stark, The mighty crocs, in light and dark. We stood so close, a thrill untold, To scales of green, so rough and old. An eye blinked slow, a primal gaze, Lost in a prehistoric haze. A tail submerged, a silent glide, With nothing left for them to hide. The jaws agape, a fearsome sight, Bathed in the golden, afternoon light. And then, a treat, a soft surprise, A baby croc, with tiny eyes. Held in my hands, so small and new, A little dragon, shining through. An incredible, up-close display, A memory that will never fade away. The crocodile farm, a wild embrace, A truly wondrous, sacred place.

Kia was an excellent guide - knowledgeable, passionate, and compassionate toward these incredible creatures. It was an amazing experience and a great way to learn the fundamentals of crocodile safety. Highly recommend!

The Crocodile farm tour was well presented, the guide was very knowledgeable in explaining how the farm operates and giving vital information on Crocodile behaviour. Cafe and Crocodile souvenirs. Well worth a visit

Great experience including introduction and history to the commercial crocodile farm. Then a tour around seeing the big crocs before getting to hold a baby croc. A great food menu with a range of crocodile base dishes were very tasty and were able to be enjoyed with a drink. Would go again in nesting season!

Koorawatha Crocodile Farm is a great family outing. The farm is about 30 minutes out of Rockhampton with onsight parking. They open at 10am and it is recommended that you purchase tickets for the tour online before you go. The tour begins with an informative talk and video that explains the history of the farm and information on crocodiles. There are huge skins mounted on the ceiling of the cafe with an extensive display, crocodile goods toys and Tshirts etc for sale. Safety is also explained before you enter the farm with staff ever watchful and reminding those who get too close to the fence. The tour goes for about one and half hours with croc feeding and an informative commentary. You are able to see the crocs in the various pens up close. Staff were happy to answer questions from both adults and children. The tour ended with the owner holding a 50cm young croc ( with mouth taped closed for safety) talking about his life and the breeding cycle. You could hold the small croc and have photos taken which the kids really enjoyed. The farm also has a Cafe where you can try various croc meat meals. Great day out.

Totally impressed by Kia, how he has delivered a customer service and a viewing session. Needless to say they have a couple alligators. The alligators farm less dangerous rather than salt sea water crocodiles. However, still very hazardous. Strongly suggest to try their croc meat dishes.

Awesome experience. Really enjoyed our day learning about crocodiles and getting so close to them! You get to hold a baby crocodile at the end which is amazing!

Went for a walk after seeing the zoo. Lovely gardens (we didn’t see every section but enjoyed what we saw). The Japanese section was lovely. Next time I’d bring a picnic - plenty of spaces to unwind and there was a nice looking kids playground with undercover BBQ’s.

Well worth taking a stroll through the many different areas these gardens have to offer. Parking can be difficult to find, but if you drive down towards the lagoon it's not so busy there. Japanese Gardens were under maintenance, so didn't get to enjoy them. Combine these Botanical Gardens with the zoo next-door and you can have a relaxing enjoyable day!

Wow the playground is incredible! It gets raked and cleaned every day so it was tidy when we arrived in the morning! All gardens were spectacular, very clean tidy and green! Lots of love and work goes into the garden and you can tell!

Visited May 2025 The gardens are quite large. Being May there weren't many flowers in bloom making it a little visually boring . The plants around the floral clock needed a trim because you couldn't see it. I love Japanese gardens but I found this one without the wow factor. The banyan figs around the tea rooms provide lots of shade and are beautiful. Food is quite good from the tea rooms I had zucchini fritters with a small salad and my husband had the eggs benedict on a bed of bacon which he said was delicious. The blue eye honeyeaters and rainbow lorikeets jump on the tables wanting to be fed, you can almost touch them. There is a childrens playground not far from tea rooms but not close enough to keep an eye on your kids. Down at Murrays Lagoon many water birds along the banks and looking in the water from the wetland lookout are so many river turtles popping up looking for a feed. I would have liked to see information boards explaining the different gardens. The gardens are 33hectares which I googled is around 46 soccer fields (for those who need a comparison, as I did!) so plenty of room for riding a bike or a long walk. I'd like to think it is more appealing in spring. But none the less a good walk and a tea rooms a lovely place for a cuppa. Overall underwhelming.

Lovely place to have a walk/run. Plenty to see from plants, turtles down a murray lagoon. Large play park for the kids. Even coffee shop. Plenty toliets and park for all.

Great zoo and gardens. We needed more time than we had to fully explore the extensive gardens.

A great botanical gardens that offers some of the best scenery and walking tracks in the area

A great experience and a huge learning curve on how to fossick for the Thunder Eggs. We stayed the night at the campground and Don made us feel welcome from arrival. An additional pleasure was having ‘Bobby’ accompany us for the duration of our stay. Highly recommended.

These guys help show us what to do. It was the first time looking for thunder eggs. They show us what to look for and help us. The kids had a blast and us parents did too. The view of the mountains was amazing. They had a few chairs and shared tree to sit under and relax. They really look after the kids by having blocks they could stand on to see, the stones after they were cut and keep them apart of the entire experience. They had poppers to buy and little car/bikes to help keep the little ones happy. The kids filled up a bag of litter stones we purchased from the shop. The staff were friendly and helpful. They really made a delightful experience for the entire family and made sure it was enjoyed by the family. Taking care to think about the needs of their guests and providing for them. Thank you for a wonderful experience and the lovely cut thunder eggs we found. The nicest one will proudly be displayed on our book shelf as a beautiful memory of our adventure with you. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Great find! I thought it woupd be boring, something just for the kids...but no, i was more committed to the hunt than i anticipated, was terrific having them cut to take home. They have bbqs (for byo snags), toilets, free drinking water, little bikes (balance bikes & trikes), enclosed shoes to borrow if needed, foam knealing pad, little step things to sit on which is amazing for bad knees or all us getting on in age..... I recomend to take a picnic rug and some snacks, toy buckets or toy cars for little kids for when rock hunting (& old clothes) then snags for after youre rocks have been cut. We also saw they have showers, camping grounds and swings. They sell beautiful array of gems, precious stones, jewellery & gem home decor items - all are fair prices for the pieces you get and the quality. Food wise they have a little cafe, icecreams and icypoles. Staff were lovely, very helpful and knowledgable, they had a seriously adorable friendly dog too. All of the staff seemed to genuinely love seeing our kids faces (and ours!) Light up seeing the incredible patterns and precious materials which were inside of our finds. Suprised how many they cut for us. We got to take uncut ones with us too. Worth the drive, easy to spend 4-5 hours here. With kids, take rugs, sone trucks or cars, and snacks - ours enjoyed dipping in and out of the thunderegg search. Without those toys and bikes it prob wouldnt have been as enjoyable for them, they can only look at rocks for so long 🤣

We had a wonderful experience and stay at Mt Hay! We loved spending the day hunting for Thunder Eggs and Rainforest Jasper, as well as making friends with Bobby the friendly puppy! We left with some lovely cut pieces and some uncut for us to learn ourselves. Thank you for a great stay 😊

Great experience fossicking for thundereggs and the having some of your finds cut open for you! Ice cream and drinks available after you have worked up a sweat! It was fun continuing to look through the piles to find your fortune! Camping available onsite for those interested.

Absolutely loved this side quest we went on during our travels. The guys running it were lovely and it was nice to be able to take the dog. They have a lovely dog called bobby who is a cheeky chap 🤣 You get so much for your money and if you’re lucky you will see the owners cutting up so awesome stones for the shop. The rock garden also blew my mind. Huge chunks of stones I would pay a lot of money for only $30pkg. If I didn’t have to fly home to Europe I would have handed over my credit card! Wish we camped there too!

What a gem of a place to stay and fossick. The staff are delightful and the camping is cheap. I spent the day fossicking for Thunder Eggs and was so delighted with my stash! They even cut some for me free of charge. If you love fossicking, this is the place to visit.

THE MINE , OR KNOWN AS MOUNT MORGAN GOLD MINE CO (LEASE) WAS ABANDONED IN 1981, AND SOLD TO MYSELF IN 2013, BY THE DEPT OF NATURAL RESOURCES , WHICH CONTAINS 3 LEASES, AND 2 separate properties. Which the leases contain approximately 300 homes, give or take. And as of 22/6/2025 have (not) Leased any land to anyone , in regards to TheMine, MountMorgan goldmine, or the town Mount Morgan. Which all are the same. RP

Big wet hole

Love it

Wow, this museum is amazing. So much history about Mt Morgan and life in general, back in the "good old days!" Great to wander around reading the information boards that were a plenty and were truly fascinating! Certainly make the effort and time to come and check this place out for yourself! Allow an hour or two to take it all in. They only ask for a donation to enter. Excellent valve!

Awesome, took few hundred photos of stuff over a hundred years old, very interesting go see for yourself, only $6 admission plenty to see from horse and carts, fire engines, every invention the last 100 years or so, pretty cool displays

Enjoyed our visit very much. Lots of history. Would be nice to know who donated all the bits and pieces. So great to see.

We spent ages going through here, so interesting to learn about the history of Mt Morgan Gold Mine, surrounding areas and the pioneer times. Out the back was an old hearse, fire engine and Vespa motorbike. Very comprehensive museum, with lots to see. Allow lots of time.

Loved this museum , so much history and great people…you do need cash $6 each …was also pet friendly

A good place to stop in and see some interesting things. Great county town, and a few attractions to see while your there, spend the day.

Step back in time to discover the history of the Mt Morgan region. There's gold in them tha hills💛

Nice spot

Nice dam to pull up and go for a swim or fishing, clean amenities , kids playground and overall really nice quiet place to sit.

Was very low. It was eerie being able to walk right up to the gates on the water side.

Great park for the little ones , plenty of BBQs and covered seating areas . Walking areas for the dogs and always activity to watch in the water . Great spot

Water levels are fairly low but in spite of that a nice quiet location to relax.

Nice picnic spot. Long way to the water at the moment.

It's so very dry! I walked along the 'wall' until the spillway. Very hot but worthwhile. Picnic area ✅ Shade ✅ Interesting ✅

A great spot to have a fish relax & soak in nature great picnic & play area for the kids to hang out

We stayed at the RV park and it was outstanding. Free entry to the museum for $25 overnight stay. Clean toilets, power and water included. Quiet lots of open grass areas. Staff were helpful and the museum is a splendid step back in time. Machinery, vehicles and living from the 20th century. Highly recommended stay for anyone with a van.

Fabulous place to stay .$15 unpowered site with water .Excellent toilets and showers .You can wander around the outside exhibits .Minimal road news . Post and rail cafe open 10 -4 daily with great coffee ☕️ ♥️

This caravan park is a great find. $25 power and water plus the heritage museum included. Really nice facilities. They special offers running, judt ask. Sometime closed due to rain and black soil.

Wonderful spot to stay for a night or two. They have a 48 hour max. stay. The amenities are the best I have seen anywhere for a long time and are clean and modern. There is power and water hook up and at $25 a night I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Biloela. All staff are voluntary and very helpful. Highly recommend.

Thanks so much for the 2 nights stay. A great museum and camp site. We camped out the back for $10 a night - no power. Power will cost you $15 a night. We have a camper trailer (patriot) and it just fits, we were in site 14. If you ask for say 15 there is a bit more room as it runs along the roadway. The showers / toilets are very good- clean and tidy. With our stay we were able to see the museum, included in our stay, which was great. We booked ahead to stay as the gates close at 1600 and you need a pass code to get in. There is a hotel within walking distance for meals if needed. A great place to stay and look around Biloela.

Perfect stop for two nights. Entry to the displays was included in the price ($25). Water, power and dump. What more could you need. Clean showers and toilets. Only a short walk to a pub that does awesome steaks and only a 20 minute walk into town where there’s a Woolies and Foodworks.

This is behind the visitor information centre, $15 a night, 2 night stay Max with great amenities, they are ensuite style. The Heritage Park is well worth a wonder around. It is staffed by a couple of lovely la,dies that couldn't be more helpful.

I didn't use the camp ground or facilities. I launched my paddleboard and paddled up the river for 5km, could have gone further but didn't have enough supplies. Great location and plenty of water for this sport. Quiet and tranquil, lots of fish jumping.

Enjoyable experience, plenty of camping spots, flushing toilets, undercover picnic tables and seating, children's playground, rubbish bins. Plenty of green grass, only a small amount of road noise.

Camped one night here. 6kms out of Moura. Lovely clean amenities. $1 for a 2 minute shower. Good water pressure and hot water. BBQs available under roof as you drive in. Fire pits at different places throughout the grounds. Donation box available. Please donate so that the volunteers can keep this wonderful spot open. Lovely spot to stay.

Not too bad... certainly serves the purpose it is intended. I wouldn't rate the amenities highly, but again they are free if that is what you need.

Great little rest area with good, well kept amenities. Electric BBQs available and 1 wood one; fire pits; boat ramp; and a little park area. Donations requested and $1 for 4 min long hot shower. About 7km from town of Moura. Few flies and bugs about especially mozzies in the evening.

Put my boat in out Apex park to fish the Dawson River. Just west of moura. An ideal camp spot for caravans or tired travelers just looking to roll the swag out. Situated around 1 hour west of biloela and 50 minutes to 1 hour south of Baralaba. With a donation fee to the park you can stay of up to 7 nights here. This park has 60 camping sites on the peaceful Dawson River. Is well maintained by local council. With all the facilities, wood fires and gas BBQs, kids play ground as well as for the keen angler a good boat ramp accessible out nearly any water level. 8 minutes away in the town of moura there is super market and 2 pubs with counter meals and drive-thrus. Out the park it's self there a weir just down stream making it a top spot for fishing the stocked yellow belly and the abundant natural population of Saratoga.

Loved this camp.Right on the river clean facilities great view from campsite👍

Gorgeous views. Great spot that is set up not only for day trippers, but Campers too. Facilities available.

Great views and camping on the gorge. Camp area is very tight for larger caravans.

Lovely spot with a great view for a picnic lunch whilst on a road trip with our camper trailer. Good turning circle. Some steep cliffs, watch your step.

Sharp turn off to get to lookout. There is a path along spur for further views. Toilets available. Road a bit potholed.

Lovely views, however, really just a look out. This was great but write ups gave the impression that you could actually access the gorge. A wonderful view, but that's all. Disappointing. Very rough road in and badly signposted.

We visited from the Theodore side and went to the paved road, awesome feat of engineering! Definitely worth the time and the dirt sections of road were fine, although would need a 4x4 in the wet weather. Be respectful as you will be driving through properties witb unfenced roads and national forest. Make sure to visit the ladies at the Mad Cow coffee van on your way out of Theodore!

We only went to the view but that was worth a quick visit

Stayed 2 nights in Cracow, at the Heritage Museum Caravan Park, and dined at the Cracow Hotel both nights. Delicious meals and very filling. The servings were quite large, and good prices too. Staff and owners are all very friendly to deal with, and interesting to chat with. Definitely recommend a feed and drink here, if only to support a small town business. Do yourself a favour and visit. Gus and Kerrie - Brisbane.

Travelled here to show the wife and kids the area. Had lunch at the pub which was great. Food was delicious and drinks were cold. Very country pub with info on the history of the town. Great service. Would recommend a visit if in the area.

An awesome place to stop in and check out. The owners are friendly, really nice people. Great food and great atmosphere

My wife and I travelled through this lovely country town just exploring the abandoned shops in the main street but found this awesome country pub with absolutely amazing food and fantastic country hospitality. Well done, Cracow Hotel 10/10.

Holiday from NZ... a step back in time. Waited outside for the young guy to come down the road and open up...cooked us up dinner despite a wedding the day before cleaning them out...Great hospitality and added to a great holiday. We stayed in historic hotels starting at Wondai and finishing at Mossman.

This old pub is a must see, it’s close to 100yrs old, owned by a family who make you the best lunch and dinner, such a lovely family who make you feel welcome, highly recommend a visit here. We spent 3 nights here in the caravan park.

Great atmosphere, delicious pizza and awsome cold drinks

Great historical museum. Heaps of old houses and things. The area looks relatively small but it can actually take a whole day to actually explore it properly. The staff are all very friendly and proud to be showcasing this great town and the great town history. Also, I quite like the giant sign outside. It's almost a tourist attraction in itself.

An absolute must see! Could easily spend a half a day here. So much information and it truely is snapshot back in time. There’s a cool kids activity that kept them engaged. The ladies were so lovely!

I had heard alot of good things about this museum, and I wasn't disappointed. It's so easy to spend several hours here exploring all of the buildings and historical displays. The museum is clean and set out like a snapshot from our past.

What a great place! The overall design is an old town and it has all the old establishments you would expect to see. The general store was excellent and the old bank of New South Wales head a complete interior from an old bank. My wife and I loved it. Cheers and enjoy

A well designed set up. It allows you time to explore each aspect of a typical village as each building represents something. E.g a butcher, a school, a bakery, a general store etc. Fantastic. Would be great for school tours.

Had the pleasure of family members to enjoy a visit to the Miles Historical Village Museum located at 141 Murilla Street,Miles QLD 4415. This historic place is ideally located right across the road from the Miles Crossroad Caravan Park, where we enjoyed a couple of relaxing days. The Miles Historical Village Museum began in 1971 by the Miles & District Historical Society & through the many decades & various committees has created a wonderful variety of buildings that house a great range of items from the early settlement. I was most impressed with the attention to detail of everything that was on display in the 34 buildings that bring the rich & colourful historical heritage of the Western Downs region 😀 Full marks go to the staff onsite that made all of us visiting feel most welcome 🙏 You definitely need a good few hours to see everything & if that is not possible, you can obtain a pass to come back at your leisure during your time in Miles. Some of the buildings to mention that houses an extensive war memorabilia, the building that houses the Shell collection & Lapidary display are a snapshot of what is worth time seeing 👀 😀 The main museum houses a large range of items from the earliest days, & the attention to detail is definitely on display 👌

A magnificent country museum. Highly recommend a stop and look around this splendid display. There is nothing left out, educational and very interesting. We loved walking around the different buildings, the information to read.

Friendly knowledgeable staff. Amazing service clean, tidy, and well maintained

Great service. Really helpful information. We also bought some relishes.

Very helpful lady served me.

Amazing group of ladies, very knowledgeable and go above and beyond to make you feel welcome.

Love the weir, but was very full this time.

So glad we stopped in here. Not only did we get useful information about wanting to visit Barakula forest but we discovered Peter Jeffery. His petrified wood pieces are just beautiful. He spends over 20 hours each grit getting those pieces so smooth. These locals are great sources of information and very helpful. Thanks everyone!

Local Chinchilla pride really shines through here! We spoke to the permanent staff member (I’ve sadly forgotten her name, bit tired after a big trip!)—she was an incredibly friendly and vibrant presence, spoke so highly of the wonderful volunteers, and most importantly, provided valuable information that has inspired my partner and I to make another trip to the region in future! The centre also has an excellent selection of locally made arts and crafts, each with a story. We were particularly touched by the memorial seat acknowledging all the former long-serving volunteers.

Dog friendly. Lots to see. Very interesting.

Totally recommend taking the time to visit this amazing little museum, even for the locals, I was very surprised with one item on display. On one of our family get-togethers, one of my daughters had to drop her vehicle in for repairs, so we decided to have a look through the museum. In tow were my 2 and 3yr old grandbabies who also thoroughly enjoyed the time spent wandering around being amazed with all the interesting pieces on display. My daughters and I were totally surprised and had a great time, needless to say the time got away from us and the vehicle was ready before we finished our tour. It is a credit to the historical society. Allow yourself a good few hours to leisurely meander through and take it all in.

Great place lots of interesting exhibits.

Very interesting little place, especially about the learning of the cactoblastis moth eating away the Pear cactus.

A fantastic, volunteer run, local historical museum. The museum is set out on a large area, with lots of separate buildings showcasing different parts of the area's history. The exhibits are well kept and are very interesting. On the first Sunday of each month, they run mini trains around the grounds of the museum, that are great for the kids to ride on. They also run a sausage sizzle and have drinks and baked goods. There are large amounts of old machinery to see and on the days that they run the trains, they will sometimes start some of them up. If you want an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours with the children on the trains, or just looking at the area's history by yourself, then I can definately recommend the Chinchilla Historical Museum. It is a testament to the hard work of the volunteers that put it all together.

Nice experience can spend an hour just wandering around

My family and I including 2 toddlers where very impressed with the set up and amazing history. The office man was really lovely and helpful. It took us about 45 mins to an hour to see everything would definitely do it agian!!

A beautiful property. A heritage listed property that has been beautifully restored to reflect an age of time gone by. Staff were friendly and helpful. You can rent the whole house for your function. The gardens are well maintained and are perfect for weddings or special events. Some of the rooms have bathrooms attached, which are beautifully appointed and very tastefully done. Some rooms have just a sink whilst others have a mini fridge and a TV. Unfortunately not all rooms have these luxuries. Some rooms have to use a shared bathroom and toilet which is in the hall way that you share with other guests. I would suggest that every room should have a mini fridge and tea & coffee making facilities at the bare minimum. Perhaps in years to come all rooms will have their own en-suite which would be nice. Once again, the staff were very obliging and nothing was too much trouble. About 1/2 an hour outside Dalby, if you are not organizing catering you will need to travel into Dalby for food. A beautiful place for a function, I would highly recommend.

Jimbour House is the perfect combination of traditional class and history, with Australian charm. As soon as you walk around and inside the homestead, it's like you've entered another time. The property has beautifully manicured gardens and the most incredible sunsets! The staff provide incredible service with care. As a Wedding photographer, Jimbour is one of my absolute favourite venues to photograph as the options are honestly endless. 100% highly recommend Jimbour House for your Wedding.

Recently had our wedding at Jimbour House. The staff (especially Madison, Samantha and Will) were absolutely incredible leading up to and on our big day. The venue was so accommodating, immaculate and everything we could have dreamed of. The perfect wedding venue

Loved it, well worth a trip, beautifully restored home., awesome gardens and the guided tour was very informative. Loved the morning tea in the hanger. Will definitely be back to some of their events they hold there.

Very well presented & maintained gardens. Unfortunately the house isn't open as frequently as the gardens. But it is well worth visiting the gardens & historic memorabilia displays which was only a $10 fee.

Beautiful homestead and gardens, great history described in the many story boards around the buildings and through the gardens. Enjoyed a lovely morning here. Well done to the Russell Family.

The grounds are open for viewing 8am-4.30pm daily for a $3 entry fee in a honesty box. The grounds are gorgeous- free walking map upon entry also helps guide you around. The edible kitchen garden was closed when we were there due to drought conditions but otherwise the place is a sight to behold. Our 1 year old loved running around and finding fun things to collect like fallen leaves. Will definitely be back and will take a picnic to enjoy the grounds for a bit longer. The house is only open for special events as it is still a residence.

Beautiful trail on the Tree trail. Check out Little falls. Easy parking, easy walk with clear trails and only gradual incline. A couple of steep bits. Off road wheelchair would access with assistance. A couple of stops, so you can just go as far as you like. First water fall is only 700 meters from trail start. I went on a midweek day. So only saw two other people.

A short drive from Dalby, brings you to a small but beautiful mountain range. It offers expansive views from many lookouts and well maintained hiking trails. Don't miss Paradise Falls, Little Falls and Mt. Kiangarow. See Bunya Pines (of course!) Xanthorrhoea trees and Subtropical Rainforest, lovely clear streams and a multitude of birdlife including the amusing Catbird! Highly recommended!

A really good national park when there's been a bit of rain. I've been here quite a few times, but 20 years or more ago, and the waterfalls were very paltry, but right now, they are magnificent. And it's so lush under the forest canopy. The bunyas are magnificent, there's some very cool strangler figs. Lots of wildlife, birds especially. And such a different climate to the one we left in Brisbane. Cool nights, pleasant days. Finally, there are enough walking tracks to keep you busy for two full days walking. I strongly recommend a visit

Always love coming up here. The air is crisp and clean, the forest is awesome, with Bunya pines that you can't get your arms around. Cold enough for cozy fires in your cabin - toasted marshmallows etc.

Amazing hiking. Keep your eyes peeled for the bower bird structures and their blue decorations, and listen for the call of the whip bird! A great place to take a break from the heat of lower elevations.

So many birds a bird watcher happy place. We had a little biby come visit our cabin very special

Great place to relax and have a secluded bush walk

A quaint antiques store with a pretty small range. Alot of items are far too over priced, the owner seems to largely make things up on the spot as alot of items are unmarked. Friendly as always, easy parking.

Ross always has some special little treasures to tickle the fancy. We'll worth a browse.

great range of items. good junk shed out back to look through. I personally found prices on the high side given the changing market for antiques but we'll worth a look and I think I found an item suitable to finish a project so well worth a visit

Love a good antique shop and this one is absolutely one of the best. Great local knowledge, great price, and Ross is always keen for a laugh. Still waiting on my free jar of beeswax for guessing the rope twister, but you cant win em all.

Love the store, but couldn't find what I was after. But plenty here for the antique hunters. A few gems and some good prices too. You must stop in for a look see!

Nice place. Furniture has been taken back to bare timber and varnished,sorry not for me. Antique furniture should be how you found it with all its lumps and bumps and necessary repairs only.

Had plenty of old stuff. If looking for 70s,80s or 90s though you won't find it. People havnt really discovered the value in 80s vintage yet. Still worth a look in anyway, as you never know.

They have some good movie We hired out a few . It's on the top floor level 1 at dalby 23/11/21

What a surprise to find this amazing place in a country town. Very large space, all the newest DVDs, fast free wifi, a recording studio, an editing studio with Apple computers, lots of beautiful furniture and lovely spaces to chill, a gorgeous kids area and very friendly staff. The temporary membership policy is great for visitors too. Well worth a visit.

Comfortable spacious and quiet 🤫

Storytime run on a Tuesday morning at 10.30 upstairs is a great 45min program for young children to interact and play, sing songs and dance, read and do arts and craft. Run by Jeanette and Trevor (her sidekick doggie) it’s a great free morning out. With a different themed day every week. What more could you want

Large, modern regional library with desktop and WiFi available.

It is a wonderful place and I love going in there. So clean, cool and quiet. I always get what I am looking for.

Good library. Friendly staff. Does has a wheelchair lift inside and ramp at front entry. This is also where the cinemas is.

Had the best experience! Cowboy up is a fantastic place to go for a trail ride. The horses are very well looked after and all have lovely personalities. The country side was absolutely stunning. It was the perfect trail ride experience for me and my friend. Highly recommend going! Gill and Peter are the nicest and most down to earth people you will come across. We will definitely be going back 😊

Excellent trail ride on a beautiful property. If you’re in the area we highly recommend going. We went on a clear Sunday morning, potential to see cows, koalas and bird life.

We had the best time with Cowboy up! This was the perfect place to get our horsey fix, surrounded by such beautiful country. The horses are so so loved and well looked after, which can be rare for trail ride companies. Gill and Peter are such genuine people with a passion for what they do, the way they welcomed us instantly made us feel at home. They shared many stories, advice and travel tips which went above and beyond any other trails we have done before! I would highly recommend Cowboy up and we will 100% be back!

I went riding here yesterday with my two best friends, and we had so much fun! Peter and Gill were so kind and made an effort to talk to us and help us get a real feel for some western riding, the property and trail were absolutely breathtaking and the horses were so beautiful and so well behaved! My friends and I will most definitely be back for another ride!

Had an amazing time with the beautiful Belle. The owners Gill and Peter are wonderful people and so easy to talk to while going for an adventure through their property. Can’t wait to come back.

We are a family of three, with a daughter 7 years of age and we had the most wonderful experience with beautiful horses and fantastic leaders. Peter and Jill are knowledgeable, experienced horse people who show dedication and love for their horses. We have done a few trail rides in the past, and this was the best so far. The horses are so gentle, happy and well cared for. We will definitely be back!

What a wonderful morning spent with Gill, Peter, and horses Belle and Tubby on their beautiful property. In our 60's/70's we were a little nervous about getting on a horse but were given expert and easy to understand instructions from Pete before heading off on our 2 hour trail ride. Relaxed, safe and very tailored to our individual needs. Jill and Pete were fabulous hosts, welcoming, informative and great fun. Highly recommend, get out and enjoy. Varri and George.

I was blown away by Lake Broadwater. It has the most stunning sunsets & sunrises. Toilet facilities with free hot showers. Caretakers are so welcoming & keep the facilities immaculate & clean. It's peaceful & full of pristine nature. Has playgrounds for the kids, Outdoor kitchen area, Bird sanctuary to check out & overall. I cant wait to bring my kids to my next visit. Very affordable powered and unpowered sites. Easily has become top of my list for camping getaways. Thank you guys for this amazing place you have!

Another nice stop on our travels, About 20 minutes out of Dalby, Lake Broadwater, some powered sights (first in best dressed) amenities clean, good hot showers, can camp either end of area, camp kitchen, fire places, $7.25 per person a night caretakers come around late afternoon to collect, and can buy firewood then. $10 a bag, nice place to relax, with cheeky birds to entertain you 😊 Also good play area for kids, would be awesome in the warm weather

A beautiful spot to camp or day trip right on the lake and wake up to views like this. Facilities are excellent clean modern and easy access. Plenty of shaded sites fire pits some powered sites lots of unpowered , BBQ’s camp kitchens with power, kids play grounds even a function hall you can rent right on the waters edge. It’s a national park so no pets but the sunrises are exceptional. Friendly rangers come around to welcome you and collect the fees $29.00 for two people for two nights powered or unpowered. We shall be back.

Amazing On-Site Management. Clean, hot showers, plenty of room for everyone. Great for kids, fires in pits. Thank you to the Shire for outstanding facilities, the park has street lighting for safety.

A very nice, clean and quiet camping ground. Dont book on line, just rock up and use the envelopes provided to put your payment in. Powered and non powered sites, on a first come first served basis, there are no bookings. You can also pay in the evening when the staff come around (they also offer firewood). The sites are all on hard standing gravel. No dogs allowed! Very clean showers and toilets. All in all a very nice place to stay and only $7.25 per person

What an absolutely ripper place to stay. Lovely site near water only $14:50 per night. Good showers and toilet available.

Amazing place to camp! Just had my first visit and will be back for sure! Stunning lake, wonderful wildlife, and the facilities are amazing. Plenty of space to setup, never felt crowded at all and the caretakers were fantastic. Highly recommend!

Well kept, natural paradise. Had teenagers, toddlers and oldies over the weekend and the flat, spacious, on the river camp we chose was fantastic for everyone

Second time around Camping down near the creek Powered sites up near amenities Great camp kitchen So peaceful Fires allowed Pets allowed

We camped on a powered site. Relaxing week. Lovely morning tea in the cafe. Great spot.

Arrived to stay for 2 nights but ended up doubling that. We camping next to the creek which was nice. It holds fish but we didnt have any luck Friendly and helpful caretakers Kids loved the farm animals and lambs in the nursery. Lucky enough to have the place just about empty so a very quiet stay Great history and displays around the woolshed complex Very clean and tidy facilities

What a fantastic place to visit and experience, also the camping is top notch, ahhhhh the serenity

Just spent the weekend here, the caretakers are lovely people, down to earth. Great camping spot! Beautiful morning sunrises with just as good sunsets, lots to see even the teenage boys had a great weekend. Will be back

We love coming here!!!! Partner and i like to come to chill and just take in the peaceful views of the country life. Well maintained and really nice caretakers Ang and Rod. They make you feel welcome thats for sure. We love this place as it allows us to have our dogs. Lots of land for them to play in off leash area, some awesome swimming areas from them too. You will not be disappointed in the showers if you stay. Great pressure and HOT. Until next time. :-D Shell

The Kedron Wavell RSL Sub Branch Volunteers, along with the Liaison students from the local secondary schools around the Chermside area, had the pleasure of visiting the Australian Army Flying Museum located Bawden Boulevard (formerly Museum Dr, Oakey QLD 4401. The Australian Army Flying Museum is about 4 kilometres north of the township of Oakey & is only a short drive from the Oakey Army Aviation Centre. The museum provides an insight into Australian military aviation from historical to contemporary perspectives & is always looking to expand its history of aviation. Scott, who is a retired Army veteran of 32 years, is now one of the museum staff provided an excellent overview of the history of the aircraft on display. I was particularly impressed with the extensive knowledge & detail that Scott provided of the history of the various wars that Australian military personnel fought in from World War 1 right through to the present time. The military aircraft on display are in pristine condition with the museum staff & volunteers putting in a lot of time to ensure people that visit are provided with the best facilitated display & information. The Australian Army Flying Museum is open to the public from Tuesday through to Saturday from 10.00 am. to 3.00 pm & is free to visit. This museum is located on the ground floor level, with wheelchair access toilets onsite. There is adequate open air parking available with disabled parking close to the front entrance to the museum. Kedron Wavell RSL Sub Branch members & students were definitely impressed with the excellent display & the thinking going forward by the RSL that it could become an annual visit.

This was a great experience. Learnt so much and our 3 year old had a blast being able to actually go inside the Chinook helicopter. Staff there were also amazing and more than helpful.

Free Entry, Easy to park with plenty of static displays. Groups (with advance notice) can have a guided tour - great for kids as they allow kids to sit in the actual aircraft! Only downside is there’s no souvenirs. Lost opportunity that could help generate revenue for the museums upkeep.

Such an informative place! Free to enter. Very friendly & helpful staff. Kids colouring in area. Nice picnic area out the front.

Can not recommend highly enough. Outside of the AWM, one of the best museums for aviation I have been to (I have been to a few..). Staff were very informative and helpful, great with the kids, and plenty of interactive things for adults and kids. Massive bonus, it's free.. should at least be a gold coin donation. Thanks guys, a bloody good job

This was our 3 visit here over a number of years, we had Scotty as a tour guide, his commentary was funny at times and full of great information. Check for operational days and hours, there are no entry fees.

Interesting place to visit, cool experience to be able to climb in the back of a Chinook. Was lucky enough to see Blackhawk flying around as well
