Swap the city hustle for a country escape and let us show you how to enjoy the country life in the Southern Downs.

So much Celtic history…….we have the perfect mix of heritage-filled towns and villages, and breathtaking natural landscapes. Welcome to our backyard, where the only thing you need to do is slow down and enjoy the celebration of the region’s history and its natural beauty.

A wonderful way to take in Warwick’s history at your own pace is to follow the Historical Building Walk to get up close with the impressive sandstone architecture of yesteryear. A walk around the town wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Pringle Cottage Museum Complex, lovingly looked after by the Warwick Historical Society.

There are also easily to meandering country roads on which to explore the quaint villages and their history, and to take in the mountain and valley views along Australia’s Country Way in your own vehicle.

Our region is bordered on the East by the Great Dividing Range with hills reminiscent of Scotland’s high country and valleys exuding that Irish feel, so much so, that early Celtic settlers named one beautiful village, Killarney. There are National Park walks from easy to challenging across the region - those with waterfalls, hill top views, winding creeks and an abundance of native fauna and flora to enjoy along the way.
