Next morning have an early start and breakfast in Gympie, a rural town with hills lined with shops and houses, a fine place to delve into the history of the town as the majority has not been restored.

Then travel the South Burnett through Goomeri, a quiet town that is well known for its food. Goomeri houses many different styles of dining options such as: country food, gourmet cheeses, fine dining, award winning pies and locally grown olives.

It also houses restaurants and fast food outlets. On your way to the Bunya Mountains, head through Kumbia, a small town where Warren Truss and the Deputy PM of Australia used to live. At the Bunya Mountains, the many walking tracks can be a great use of time where you can snap a picture of the giant and sacred Bunya pine trees, or why not have a picnic?

Once you’ve finished at the Bunya Mountains, head south to Jondaryan, where every year the Jackie Howe festival is held in the first weekend of September. Then through towards Warwick. Warwick is your next stop, where you can relax and have a picnic at Leslie Dam, or watch the exciting races at Morgan Park Raceway where motor vehicle races are held during the year, or, if you’re a railway enthusiast, visit the Southern Downs Steam Railway where you can check out the old steam engines. Stay the night in one of Warwick’s comfortable and affordable motels.
