On the southern approach to the region, Buxton is only 10 minutes from the highway on the Burrum River and is great for fishing or just taking it easy. Childers is the next stop, you could spend a good couple of day exploring this historic town, several award winning wineries, animal encounters with a variety of reptile enclosures and shows, blast into the past with a visit to the Pharmaceutical Museum and Military Museum, tickle the tastebuds with the unique homemade ice-cream or a stop at the peanut van. Or discover your inner critic by visiting the Palace Gallery and walking along the artistic main street - pavement art and creative sculpture await.
