Monto to Biggenden

Bundaberg East, Queensland

The Burnett Highway will lead you from Monto to Eidsvold. You will pass the turnoff to Lake Wurruma, camping is permitted and throw in a line and try your luck. Eidsvold is the beef capital of the Burnett. The Information Centre also has a museum dedicated to R.M Williams. To the south you come across Mundubbera and then Gayndah. They are known as citrus capitals of the state, providing employment opportunities for locals and visitors. Gayndah is known as the oldest town in Queensland and was considered for the capital of Queensland, but lost to Brisbane because the river was not deep enough, making it impossible for large cargo ships. The next stop is Ban Ban Springs, a community known for natural springs. To the Wakka Wakka people this area is significant as in the dreamtime it was believed this was the spot was where the 'Rainbow Serpent' surfaced. Following the Isis Highway you start journeying back to the coast. Stop off at Coalston Lakes, extinct volcano crater lakes, which are near Mount Walsh National Park. Mount Walsh overlooks the town of Biggenden, known for its grain and cattle. 11 kilometres from Biggenden is Chowey Bridge.
