Mountain Ranges, Vineyards & Kangaroos

Not only is the scenery incredibly picturesque, but there is so much to explore and enjoy in the Scenic Rim. Day trips are extremely popular in the region; from the vast expansive landscapes, to the lush rainforests, to the mountain ranges of the Great Dividing Range.

Kooroomba Vineyard and Lavender Farm has been created as a unique tourist destination, nestled in the Fassifern Valley at Mt Alford near Boonah, about 60 minutes from Brisbane and 1hr 30 minutes from the Gold Coast.

The property consists of a cellar door, restaurant and lavender shop which overlooks a six hectare vineyard and a breathtaking lavender fields, with magnificent views of the Scenic Rim mountains. Kooroomba Vineyard and Lavender Farm provides a southern France experience on the doorstep of Brisbane and is the perfect setting for a relaxing day away.

Kooroomba Vineyard & Lavender Farm

Last weekend, Michael & I drove out west to Kooroomba Vineyard & Lavender Farm. We have been planning to visit there for about 12 months.

The drive out provided a stark reminder of the affects of the current lack of rainfall we have been experiencing over the last 6 months. Everything is so dry in south-east QLD due to missing our traditional wet season earlier this year.

Luckily the dams are still relatively full so the farmers can use water for their crops or, in this case, their lavender and vines.

Only in Australia, can you go to a winery with a stunning mountain backdrop and see Kangaroos and Wallabies amongst the vineyards.

This one is a Whiptail Wallaby (he/she has a white stripe on the face).

These ones are Eastern Grey Kangaroos

This one is carrying a joey in her pouch.
