15.01.2022 LOCAL FACES LOCAL PLACES // Travel tips straight from the locals, with special insights (and maybe some secrets) into the best places to explore and things to do in our region. The range of natural produce in the Southern Downs and Granite Belt is a major drawcard to visitors according to Country Farm Fresh Mushroom boss Neil Newman. I think most people from the coast would be shocked to see the diversity of agricultural businesses across the length and breadth of th...e Southern Downs. From major organisations to small business, there’s not a lot that isn’t covered and the food and produce from this region services the whole state and beyond. From the corn that makes your cornflakes to strawberries, stone fruit, potatoes, mushrooms, grapes, wheat and barley, sunflowers, the list goes on and on. Best kept secret My family’s favourite spot is the Junction at Girraween National Park. The perfect spot to cool off on a hot summer’s day. Then follow that up with dinner at the Barrel Room at Ballandean Estate Wines. PS: Keep an eye out for our new Food Trail maps, coming soon! @sqc #travelforgood #thisisqueensland #foodtrailsofqld #goodtogo

13.01.2022 LOCAL FACES LOCAL PLACES // We talk to the locals & get their insights to the best places to explore and things to do in our region. With drive holidays more popular than ever to our region which is so close to Brisbane and the Gold Coast, we got the lowdown from local automotive dealer David Cassels, of Cassels Automotive in Warwick. "We are right on the doorstep of the state’s coastal regions, and right next door to Brisbane, so we’re perfect for an overnight getaway! With... tonnes to do, from waterfalls, wineries and architecture, the region is best explored by car just jump in and drive. We’ve been here for a few years now, but we’re still uncovering great things to see and do! " David's secret gem: Take the time to experience all the little businesses! We have wineries with amazing cellar doors, and even better accommodation attached, that are run by wonderful people take the time to stop and talk to the owners. You just have to seek these experiences out!

12.01.2022 GET READY TO PACK THE CAR FOR A ROAD TRIP: SUNFLOWERS ARE A' BLOOMIN' !!// A bit earlier than normal too with thanks to some good recent rainfall... we are so excited to see these sunny crops starting to flower. Just 10 mins drive north of Warwick there's a farm with sunflowers. Take Willowvale Rd heading west off the New England Highway, near the Cunningham Highway intersection. Remember, that farms are private property so please take your photos from the roadside, not o...n the farmers land. Park safely and watch for trucks when crossing roads! We love to see your shared photos but we value your safety more! And keep an eye out for snakes! For tips on how to get the best out of your visit to the sunflowers read our blog https://bit.ly/2H8Hntt Another field of sunnies is on the Cunningham Highway at Gladfield, on the North side of the highway (so on the left if you are heading towards Brisbane).

12.01.2022 CHASING THE PERFECT PLACE TO TAKE A SUNSET PHOTO? // Sometimes all you need to do is ask a local! With the temperate spring evenings and dusk at the lovely time of around 6.30pm, what better way to spend a Saturday afternoon than a drive in the country to capture a sunset.

10.01.2022 LOCAL FACES LOCAL PLACES // Travel tips straight from the locals, with special insights (and maybe some secrets) into the best places to explore and things to do in our region. For Melissa Thomas, owner and formulator at Washpool - Skin Wellness, the peace and quiet of the Southern Downs and Granite Belt is the perfect antidote to life in the city.... I have witnessed the deep peace that seems to wash over people when they leave the city behind and get far enough away to feel they're no longer 'on call'. With wide open spaces, gorgeous landscapes and plenty of room to move around, you get perspective on the turbulence of your day to day life. This is the gift the Southern Downs and Granite Belt gives - as much calm as you need. Best Kept Secret: Connecting to where our produce comes from and the makers behind those goods. Washpool deliver to the Warwick area. Also try Nutritional Heath and Wealth in Warwick for Vitamins, supplements, local honey, nuts, flours, cereals, teas and herbal tinctures.
