Kingaroy - 25th November

Nearly home now, well into Queensland and we can feel it in our bones. Set up camp in the Kingaroy Showgrounds, $20 pn with power, great amenities and there is going to be a Speedway Meeting tomorrow night to which we have a special visitors pass. It is an easy walk into town from the Showgrounds, we strolled in and did a circuit around town and we met some of the drivers who will be competing at the Speedway Meet.

One of the main crops of the area is Peanuts, these are growing on the Booie Range.

The Carrolee Hotel, grand old building from the towns early days.

The old Council Chambers on the left is now the Library while the building on the right is The Tourist Information Centre.

This building that once housed the Kingaroy Electric Company is now a Museum.

These silos in the centre of town are used to store the peanuts harvested from around the town.

Picnic Shelter and BBQ facilities at the Mount Wooroolin Lookout.
