Embark on the third phase of our Nature and Foodies Trail from Toowoomba to the Bunya Mountains and explore the cloud-drenched High Country Hamlets along the way. As Queensland’s first micro-region specialising in high altitude produce and experiences, the High Country Hamlets and winter months are a seasonal match made in heaven. Pepper your day’s agenda with a quiet country walk, sampling food crafted by an artisanal producer, chat to a friendly local, or simply take in the lush scenery during your visit.
Pack a blanket, pick up a local cheese or antipasto platter and make your way to Picnic Point for an alfresco lunch with a seasonal twist. Afterwards, stretch your legs with a leisurely walk through the parklands and enjoy sweeping vistas overlooking Tabletop Mountain and the Lockyer Valley Plains from several vantage points.
Fancy yourself a hiker or a bushwalker, consider a trip to the top of Table Top Mountain. The trail is short but and the reward worth it as you make your way to the top. You'll find a gorgeous visa looking out over landscape and picnic area as flat as a table. Don't forget to take a camera and a warm woolly jumper.
Start off at Pechey Distilling Co, Toowoomba region’s first artisan distillery, where small batches of quality gin, vodka, and liqueurs are produced from a historic homestead located between Hampton and Crows Nest. For wine aficionados, spend an afternoon with great food, live music, and wine at Rosalie House Vineyard, Cellar Door and Restaurant in Lilyvale Valley. Support local farmers and food makers every Saturday under the windmills at Cobb & Co at the Toowoomba Farmers Market or buy fresh and locally sourced produce from The Farm Shop at Westbrook. Finish up your culinary journey at Metiisto Artisan Chocolate, a local producer that delivers on the sentiment that chocolate is happiness you can eat. At this stop, you can sample award-winning chocolates every Saturday (when the factory doors are opened to the public).
Get your heart pumping and body temperature back up with a brisk hike as the temperature drops. Keen naturists can explore Crows Nest National Park, an area brimming with eucalypt trees from gums to stringybarks, bloodwoods and ironbarks. Head to Crows Nest and visit Hartmann Park, where visitors can wind through several linked walking tracks that provide access to Applegum Park and Bullocky’s Rest along Bald Hills Creek. Enjoy views out to the Lockyer Valley and Scenic Rim from the Gus Beutel Lookout at Ravensbourne National Park, a naturally diverse destination situated on the spur of the Great Diving Range between Toowoomba and Esk.
