Don’t forget to pack your line and bait, where you can cast a few lines to hook a Murray Cod, Perch, or Catfish. You don’t have to head out of town to get your nature fix in Chinchilla where you can stroll through bushland and alongside the creek, to picnic areas framing grass fields.
Education is not left behind with four schools (one state high school, one state primary school, and two private primary schools) that cater from prep to year 12. The Cultural Centre, which includes a 700-seat auditorium, houses a cinema showing recently released movies.

The biggest and best outback adventures start in Roma and is located just half-a-day’s drive west of Brisbane. The Roma Airport has regular 1-hour flights to and from Brisbane. If you are looking to explore the outback, it is only a three-hour drive to Charleville. A long weekend coastal getaway in Rockhampton is easily achieved with a six-hour drive.
There are eight established tourist drives, perfect for the 4WD enthusiast looking to get off the beaten track. Carnarvon Gorge National Park offers towering white cliffs, huge rock overhangs adorned with ochre stencils and engravings from an ancient and ongoing culture and an array of well-established walking trails.
Roma is the largest town in the Maranoa Region and offers an array of city-like conveniences with friendly country hospitality. There is an abundance of cafes ideally located throughout town and dining options include fine dining restaurants, niche cafes, contemporary pubs with alfresco dining, plus all your traditional take-away options (KFC, McDonalds, Dominos, Chinese, etc.).

Toowoomba provides an ideal opportunity to escape the long commutes and the hustle & bustle of big city life. With affordable quality housing, the average commute to work is only 15 minutes. The local community is an ideal place to live as you enjoy the benefits of a true work-life balance environment. Toowoomba’s reputation as the “Garden City” speaks for itself with parklands, walking trails, and great coffee and breakfasts from a large selection of cafes.
As the second largest inland city in Australia (second to Canberra), you still have access to all mod-cons of city life with a large choice quality private and state education facilities, a university, three major hospitals, a major Airport with direct flights Townsville, Sydney and Melbourne (well usually-unless COVID stops us) and a large choice of sporting, recreational, and cultural facilities. And if you still have the need to hit the big city, Brisbane is only 1.5 hours away. Or you easily can drive to the Gold or Sunshine Coasts in only 2 hours for a weekend getaway.
