South Burnett

The South Burnett is a peanut growing and wine-producing area on the Great Dividing Range, north of the Darling Downs, in Queensland.

Towns with a population under 1,000 people include Kilkivan, Goomeri, Proston, Blackbutt, Kumbia, Tingoora, Hivesville, Memerambi, Wooroolin, Moffatdale, Crawford, Coolabunia, Mount Mowbullan, Goodger, Booie, Benarkin, Cloyna and Wheatlands.

[2] The South Burnett Wine Region is another attraction, with Verdelho grown successfully, due to the warm climate and rich soils.

Shiraz and Chardonnay are the most prevalent varieties with production roughly halved between red and white wines.

[4] At Kinbombi Falls there are picnic and camping facilities next to a large waterfall, gorge and rocky creek.
