🏊‍♂️ 25M & 50M outdoor heated pools
☀️ Toddler/kids pool
🐳 Learn to swim lessons
👶 Free babies program (up to 8 months of age)

Whether you want to do laps to stay fit, learn to swim or just relax in the water, head on down to the aquatic centre!

A lifeguard is always on duty, and snacks and drinks are available to purchase from the kiosk.

Please contact the Biloela Aquatic Centre for opening hours and entry prices.

The northern most town in the Banana Shire, Dululu is a junction point that divides the two southern arterials, the Burnett Highway (A3) to the east and the Leichhardt Highway (A5) to the west.

Both highways reveal untold adventures, and this rural village is the start of them all - a launching pad to the shire, and perfect place to stop, rest and make your touring plans.

At the rest area in Dululu, a plaque bearing the names of early settlers is mounted on a hexagonal shaped rock like those found at Mount Scoria near Thangool.
