Sunshine Coast to Western Downs
While the Western Downs might be best known for its agriculture scene, past the farm gates you’ll find history and heritage in each of its small towns and communities.
Famous for its melons and a renowned spot for fossicking, fishing and camping, the colourful town of Chinchilla is an easy drive 81km west of Dalby along the Warrego Highway.
The ‘Melon Capital’ of Australia produces 25 percent of the country’s watermelons, rockmelons and honeydew melons and celebrates its status with the biennial Melon Festival.
