From the water Airlie Beach is not that visible or at least it wasn't, over the years one would expect things to change. Airlie was and probably still is very popular with back packers. from the Able Point Marina Airlie Beach is a nice walk and relatively easy to access, one of the favorite haunts was the Hogs Breath Cafe, and always full of activity.

Have you ever been to Kooralbyn just South of Beaudesert, Queensland? If not make sure you get yourself out there and take a drive up Brookes Drive all the way to the top and make sure you more than just pause at the scenic lookout, the views of the Scenic Rim National Park are more than worth the effort, especially if you happen to strike it on a crystal clear day.

Several years ago we took a drive out to Kooralbyn and was awe struck by the majesty of the place especially from the scenic lookout, so we bought a property just down the road, since then we have been trying to build out in Kooralbyn but due to circumstances far beyond our control we now have no choice but to sell our dream block and move on to other pastures.

They call this place the Peanut Capital and yes it probably still is but over the years Peanuts have been very hard to grow out here due to drought and other conditions not so favorable to growing peanuts. Located some 200 km NW of Brisbane Kingaroy is the largest town in the South Burnett.

Of interest in the area is the Bunya Mountains National Park, nearly always cool even in the hottest of weather. If you're into Parrots this is the place to go. Although if lunching out in the open up here one needs to watch out for the Kookaburras, they have a tendency to steal food right out of your hand and there bills are razor sharp, not very nice when you are trying to have a picnic.

The local farms are a sight to behold in a good year the variety of colours is unreal. There are a number of activities one can take part in around Kingaroy, there's gem fields, water skiing, bird watching, gliding, wine tasting etc.

Situated about 180km NW of Brisbane Nanango is a quiet rural township in the South Burnett on the Daguilar Highway and many people pass through the place bound for Bundaberg and places north.

Nanango like many towns in the South Burnett has it's share of good and bad particularly when it comes to water and drought, for many years Nanango has suffered the effects of a prolonged drought and it will take years of good regular rain fall to return it to better times.

Having lived in the area for many years then leaving I couldn't help notice a few things about the town when I last returned, there were a number of youth wondering about the streets aimlessly and looking for trouble or what they could get into, it has always been a bit of a problem but only became really noticeable once I'd left and when back for a short visit.

On the whole though Nanango is a peaceful town and is a good place to bring up a family as long as parents keep tabs on there children and guide them on how to live in society and not go looking for trouble. A few more activities in and around the town wouldn't go amiss either.

Situated approx 10 km from the township of Nanango, East Nanango has a variety of scenery ranging from forest to open grass lands. Out be the State forest was home for almost 14 yrs on a 5 acre block bought back in 1987. As with many inland places in Qld it had it's good and bad moments, in the dry times which went for long periods it became very very bad and the last few years have been really bad.

However when the rain comes and there is regular falls over a period of a few months the whole country side changes and the brown and dry goes away it offers some very lovely scenes especially over looking the forest, this is one scene that one never gets tied of looking at.
