Goomburra, Main Range National Park

Forestry Reserve Road, Goomburra QLD 4362

Goomburra is one of four visitor nodes of Main Range National Park - part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area. Rugged mountain ranges, spectacular lookouts, trickling streams and rare wildlife make this a very special place. Two open, grassy camping areas hug Dalrymple Creek in the western foothills of the range; close to three walking tracks ranging from an easy 1.2 kilometre circuit suitable for wheelchairs with assistance, to a six kilometre track showcasing waterfalls and freshwater habitats. A short four-wheel-drive away, two more tracks lead to scenic lookouts, both within an hour's walk. Several longer walks can also be chosen, including along an old forestry snigging trail to a winder used back when timber was hauled from these forests. Look for New England blackbutt and manna gums in dry open forests; giant spear lillies on cliff edges; and vines, palms and epiphytes in the rainforests of moist gullies and the escarpment. Watch for echidnas and koalas. See satin bowerbirds and variegated fairy-wrens, or listen to the calls of shy yellow-tailed black-cockatoos. Goomburra is a special area for frogs; keep to tracks and please do not disturb rocks or pollute watercourses.

Boer War Memorial and Park Logo and Images

Boer War Memorial and Park

Warwick Street, Allora QLD 4362

While the soldier statue has become a symbol of remembrance in Australia relating to the world wars, the first of three soldier statues erected in Queensland after the Boer War (1899-1902) is found the War Memorial Park of Allora. Colonel (later Sir) Harry Chauvel unveiled the soldier statue in 1904, honouring the four local men who died, and 35 others who served in the southern African conflict. The slightly smaller than life-size soldier statue, by sculptor William P Macintosh, is unusual in its details: the soldier's mouth is open and he stands alone, without the traditional tree stump for support. Subsequent additions commemorate those who fought and died in World War I and World War II. General JC Robertson unveiled Allora's WWI memorial-a sandstone and marble obelisk, small field guns carved into the pedestal-in November 1921. A second sandstone and marble obelisk, simpler in design, stands at the park's rear, serving as a WWII memorial. The memorials are situated in a public park in Warwick Street.

Allora

Allora, Allora QLD 4362
Allora is known as 'the best little town on the Downs'. The town is just off the highway between Toowoomba and Warwick. You’ll think you’re taking a trip into history when driving down the main street. Visit Saint David's Anglican Church built in 1888, and one of the finest examples of a timber church in country Queensland. There's also an excellent country butcher and a couple of home-style cafes in town. Experience Allora's strong sense of history on the signed Heritage Trail. It takes walkers from one historic building to the next, street banners reflect the theme, and a series of murals at the gates of the showground depict local milestones. The town was the childhood home of P.L Travers who wrote the Mary Poppins stories, and the fallen soldier's memorial is one of only two Boer War memorials in Queensland. Now restored, Glengallan Homestead and Heritage Centre embodies the history of the Allora region since the late nineteenth Century. A major draw card on the Heritage Building Trail, Glengallan divulges a fascinating insight into the workings of a pastoral station. From November to February you'll see sunflowers in bloom....
