For a taste of Calliope's history, head to the Historical Village which was developed by the Calliope Shire Council to promote the region of Port Curtis. Explore the local history museum located beside the Bruce Highway near the Calliope River crossing. The highlight is the monthly Country Markets which are held on site boasting stall holders from as far away as the Gold Coast selling a diverse range of wares including fresh produce, plants, homewares and bric-a-brac Lake Callide is located 12-kilometres from Biloela via sealed road and approximately 90-kilometres south-west of Gladstone via the Dawson Highway. While compact, the lake provides visitors with rewarding fishing - especially for golden perch and has in recent times been well stocked with barramundi. Red-claw is abundant and it's well worth placing (tagged) traps for a catch of the tasty crayfish. A variety of other freshwater species are available to you and anglers report good success from bank fishing though the boat ramps make this an ideal spot for to launch a boat and follow the fish with a sounder. The lake also attracts a wide variety of birdlife and the local region includes spectacular scenery at nearby Kroombit Tops National Park
