SOUTHERN DOWNS

Warwick & Surrounds

Warwick - situated 160 kilometres south west of Brisbane - borders on fertile farmlands and the rolling hills of the Great Dividing Range, and is strategically located at the junction of major highways from Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. The area boasts some of Queensland's finest historical sandstone buildings, which were made from local sandstone and now stand today as reminders of their pioneering past.

Known as the 'Rose and Rodeo City', Warwick hosts one of Australia's oldest and most famous rodeos each year in October. The Warwick Rodeo can trace its roots back to 1857, and each year to this day, riders from around the nation compete for their share of the prize money. Warwick is also the Horse Power Capital of Australia, with motor sport and equestrian events happening nearly every weekend.  For horse power enthusiasts, Morgan Park is the place to be, home of the Dragway, Raceway, Polocrosse, Equestrian, and much more.
