Cecil Plains

In the town of Cecil Plains you'll find murals and the historic Cecil Plains Homestead.

Guests staying at the Homestead on the Condamine, now a bed and breakfast, should be prepared for unearthly presences, one apparition bearing a strong resemblance to Ludwig Leichhardt, the Prussian explorer who long ago sat on the veranda and discussed his expeditions with the two brothers who founded Cecil Plains.

The third weekend in May is Ludwig Leichhardt Weekend, so time your trip to coincide with this celebration.

There are more hints of spirits long-departed at the Old Station Cemetery. Tombstone details have been preserved in a rustic hardwood memorial surrounding a huge gum tree in the centre of this historic cemetery.

Stay at the new caravan park located in the centre of town, with easy access to the library, general store, hotel, swimming pool and the Condamine River. During the harvest season (April to July), be sure to take in a tour of the Cecil Plains Cotton Gin, one of the largest in the Southern Hemisphere.
