Western Country

Western Country is everything the name suggests. Historic country towns bursting with charm and unique quirks. And just a three hour drive from Brisbane.

Drop a pot or two hunting for redclaw crayfish at a welcoming farm-stay in Miles or relax amongst the vineyard and gardens, sipping fortified port in St George. Enjoy an ale and a chat at Queensland’s oldest licenced venue – Nindigully Pub – on the banks of the Moonie River and buddy up to conquer the five-kilogram ‘Roadtrain’ hamburger.

Sweat it out in Goondiwindi for one of Queensland's toughest triathlons, Hell of the West and get dressed up for a country race with a difference. Or for a slight change of pace and a bit of a laugh, the Chinchilla watermelon festival is a must.
