One hour's drive from Brisbane and a half hour drive from the Gold Coast is the region known as the Scenic Rim, encompassing vast mountain ranges, rainforests, valleys and peaceful lakes. The towns in this area cherish their individuality and none more so than the town of Boonah.

Boonah is a great place to enjoy some laid back shopping, with an array of galleries featuring talented local artists specialising in painting, photography and sculpture. The Templin Museum showcases the rich farming history of the region with its strong German influence. Parking is available in Walter, Park and Railway Streets, all within walking distance of the shops. While browsing take the opportunity to relax in one of the many cafes.

The friendly volunteers at the VIC will be only too happy to help you with information. Pick up the brochures for the four themed drive tours, all with their own unique character. The Colourful Characters Trail for history, Inspiration Trail for those who appreciate art, Serenity Trail for the outdoors, and the bird watchers can follow the Feathered Friends Trail. Visit some of the national parks where you can take a days hike or a short stroll to enjoy spectacular views. Sample the local wines at Kooroomba Vineyards, just a short drive from Boonah.

The Scenic Rim region also has some wonderful smaller villages with a wealth of history and friendly local folk who will always welcome visitors with their stories. Visit the village of Kalbar, just 10 minutesfrom Boonah where you will find many of the towns original buildings beautifully restored.

Boonah is a very friendly country town and the locals are proud of where they live. So when visiting this area, don't forget to ask a local to find that special place to visit.
