The drive to Biloela will take you back through Rolleston, then east along the Dawson Highway. You will pass through Moura, originally a farming service centre that has developed into one of central Queensland's most famous mining towns. About 4 kilometres east of Moura, you'll come across the 150th Meridian Marker that shows the position of the imaginary line (150 degrees east) on which Queensland's eastern standard time is based. Take a stroll through the history of Moura at the Museum, located in Gillespie Street and head to the Gibihi Road viewing platform to see a dragline in action in one of the many mining pits. From Moura, it's 45 minutes to Biloela, passing through the township of Banana. Rather than the fruit, the town is actually named after a particularly famous bullock used as a decoy to lure wild cattle into pens. This is the agricultural heart of central Queensland and crops include cotton, sorghum, wheat, herbs and lucerne. There is also a huge cattle industry and the Banana Shire boasts the largest number of head of cattle of any shire in Queensland. Local farmstay accommodation is an excellent way to gain an insight into some of these industries.
