Western Downs Region
Stretching from the fertile black soils around Dalby to the grain towns of Miles and Wandoan, the Western Downs region is known for agriculture and natural gas developments. Wide fields of sorghum and cotton sit alongside eucalyptus forests and Bunya Mountains National Park. Locals quietly delight in the grandeur of Jimbour House, a sandstone homestead that occasionally opens its gardens for concerts, and in discovering the less‑trodden Westcott track on the Bunya Mountains where quiet creeks and cool rainforests offer respite from the summer heat.
