[1] Just north of the Warrego Highway east of Dalby, Bowenville has the basic requirements for the traveler, including fuel, a post office, barbecues, a hotel and public telephone.

It is a short drive from two major tourist attractions in the region, the historic Jondaryan Woolshed and the New Acland Coal Mine.

[9][10] In September 1906, Major William Grant of the Bowenville pastoral station donated land next to the railway line on the corner of Railway Street and Cockburn Street (27°18′12″S 151°29′25″E / 27.3032°S 151.4904°E / -27.3032; 151.4904 (Bowenville Presbyterian Church)) for a Presbyterian church as well as £20 towards the building costs.

[14] In March 1916, a severe storm blew the roof off the Presbyterian church as well as damaging the Bowenville railway station and many houses.

On Sunday 13 August 1916 the re-built church was officially re-opened by the Reverend Richard Glaister, the principal of Emmanuel College at the University of Queensland.

It was a popular venue for dancers as its floor was made of Crow's Ash (Flindersia australis) which is very resistant to impact, making it an excellent surface for dancing.

The hall hosts a wide variety of local events, including meetings, classes, dances, concerts, and receptions.

[26] The Bowenville Reserve (in Wainu), situated along the Oakey Creek, provides a free camping area with access to non-potable water and toilet facilities.
