The farm, heritage and history

 The farm, heritage and history


Discover classic old-fashioned rustic farm sheds, grand old homesteads and charming traditional high streets. History buffs will love our museums or the opportunity to sit 'yarning' with old-time farmers in our atmospheric country pubs. Our antique shops also reflect the Scenic Rim's agricultural and timber-getting past.

A rich heritage and a history of resilient pioneering families remains strongly evident in the Scenic Rim. There are many fascinating stories of pioneering achievement and the area's first people, who come from a number of Aboriginal tribes also have their own remarkable legends and stories of survivial.

You'll find museum displays at Beaudesert, Canungra, Rathdowney and Teviot, near Boonah -- ask at the local Visitor Information Centre for more information. (This site is also being updated).

Farmstays are another wonderful opportunity to meet our farmers and learn about their family heritage and the pioneering stories of the past.
