Broaden Your Horizons in the Western Downs

Lying west of Toowoomba, the Western Downs takes in Tara, Miles, Goondiwindi, Chinchilla, Miles, Wandoan and extends as far as St George, Surat, Roma and Carnarvon Gorge.

It’s the gateway to the outback – so expect to get a taste of country hospitality, classic pubs, driving the open roads, and red dust and roos without the huge distances. You should also expect the unexpected, like excellent fishing and the region’s wine trail. And there are ample petrol stations, grocery stores, and places to stay and eat in the towns en route. Much can be seen in three or four days but to really immerse yourself in this amazing region take your time and extend your stay.
