If you dream of losing yourself among picturesque views surrounded by gentle rolling hills, sipping local wines made with love and treating yourself to unmissable animal encounters, then look no further than the beautiful hinterland town of Childers, just over three hours’ drive from Brisbane.

“Just ask Scott”. Thanks to historian, Scott Stedman, this is a common saying of the Childers locals who are never left pondering the past of their hinterland town.
