Keep your eyes to the skies in the Sandstone Wonders, as you may be lucky enough to spot a Wedge-Tailed Eagle soaring high above! Did you know that they are the largest bird of prey in Australia and their wing span can reach up to 2.8m?! Incredible!

Can you see why this area has been named Cattle Dip?
These school holidays, why not drive inland to Banana Shire, home of the Sandstone Wonders?
An hour and 20 minutes inland from Gladstone, an hour and a half inland from Rockhampton and 6 hours from Brisbane, the region is home to spectacular gorges, national parks and scenery. Come and explore!

Bigger than Ben Hur? Absolutely! His four wheels had nothing on the slick, hot, weird and wonderful vehicles that turn up each year for the Biloela Autofeste…and turn up the heat in the Biloela Showgrounds arena. 🚗 🏍 🏎
Join in all the fun from 11am this Saturday, 18 September with a Show and Shine, Field events, Burnout Comp, Bar, Food and Drinks, Entertainment, Jumping Castle & Kids Activities. Entry is just $5 with kids under 12 free.
