Queensland Holidays - Destinations - Kingaroy

Enjoy the beautiful weather on a drive around Kingaroy, the largest town in the South Burnett. While you're here check out the cellar doors, farms, and cheese factories for beautiful produce and wine, and take up the offer of sampling the freshest and tastiest local goods. With the quality of primary produce, the local restaurants have no trouble keeping step with the wine industry.

Kingaroy isn't known as the Peanut Capital by chance. Whether you're interested in the crops, the spectacle of the red dirt flying at harvest time, or just the eating, Kingaroy has peanuts covered - even throwing the humble nut its own festival.

Twin peanut silos dominate the centre of town, across the road from this Visitor Information Centre in the centre of the town's Heritage Precinct. Explore the Kingaroy Heritage Museum next door, and the surrounding historic buildings.

The base of the Bunya Mountains is only a short drive out of Kingaroy's limits. The land's Traditional Custodians used to gather and celebrate amongst the bunya pines. And people are still drawn to the Bunya Mountains by the sense of peace and the ancient and majestic Bunya Pines.

The locals here have plenty to celebrate, and any excuse any time of year will do - join them for wine and food, the picnic races, Christmas, or music festivals.

Kingaroy lives within the South Burnett region. For more information about this region, download the official Australia's Country Way brochure here.
