Things to do in Biloela

Biloela is a bustling commercial and tourist centre today, but it still has a laid-back, country feel. Rambling homesteads grace hillsides and streetscapes, fashioned and constructed by the hands of those who forged their futures in a new world. Kilburnie Homestead celebrates its long unbroken past for four months each year, throwing the doors open for enjoyable weekends of music and nostalgia in a traditional display of country hospitality. This is only one of the many festivals and activities that fill the annual calendar, along with the Banana Shire Regional Art Gallery's regular exhibitions. Kroombit Tops National Park, a short drive away, offers a plethora of outdoor adventures for anyone with a taste for the great outdoors. Against the ravages of time, towering ridges, deep gorges, and panoramic vistas spill out over a vast horizon. Sunny days were made for family camping, fishing, and boating adventures along the Callide Dam's banks. This is the perfect place to sit and play for as long as the fish are biting, with all the facilities on hand. From the heart of Biloela, you'll find your way to the fun and fantastic no matter where you go.

Natural Wonders

The vast and diverse landscapes of the Sandstone Wonders, which span nearly 28,000 km2, are nothing short of breathtaking. More than 25 mountain ranges make up the region, which is referred to as "the roof of Queensland" because of its sheer size and scale. Deep gorges, rocky outcrops, and rushing, freshwater streams punctuate the sweeping valleys and plains that rise to towering cliff tops.

Agribusiness

The ideal sub-tropical climate, a plethora of winding rivers, and vast open plains are not just fantastic tourist attractions. Over nearly 160 years, the temperature, water, and rich black soil have provided ideal conditions for the Banana area to develop and prosper. Wheat, cotton, chickpeas, sorghum, mung beans, spices, and lucerne hay are among the food crops, while the meat, poultry, and fish industries provide delicious and tender beef, pork, squab, and red claw to tables all over the world. As you're driving through the highways and byways, you'll notice that seeing farmers plough their fields, cattle grazing in a paddock, or the long arms of an irrigator hard at work is naturally soothing. In the Banana Shire, life on the land has a simplicity that cities lack, and as you walk the district, you'll feel it in your bones – it'll feel like home.

Fishing

Prepare yourself for some serious angling! The thrill of the chase is as important as the beauty of the fish you pull up from the bottom – the fat freshwater catch of barra, perch, saratoga, cod, and yellowbelly. Going fishing here is the beginning of many exciting adventures. While you're at it, you'll learn about the area and its various components. People you meet and places you visit will become familiar friends to you, and you will want to return. You'll shake your head, a wide smile across your face, and almost incredulously exclaim, 'This is the life!' The best thing is that you'll be right.
