If you’re after a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of ideas. Sitting 25 miles away, Highfields is worth the drive. Michael Park, Spring Bluff Railway Station and Highfields Pioneer Village alone make the drive out worthwhile. Locals are also likely to point you toward Toowoomba, 25 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, let it be Empire Theatre. (But we’re also big fans of Grand Central Shopping Centre and City Golf Club.)
