The Condamine river runs between “The Head” (bordered by Wilsons Peak and Mt Superbus) and the town of Killarney, located in the southeast edge of the darling Downs in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range south-east Queensland. The Gorge is a place of great natural beauty into which is woven a rich cultural heritage, beginning with the original peoples and the Europeans who followed in their tracks and footsteps. It is also considered a place of great geological, ecological and historical archaeological interest.
The Condamine River as Cultural Heritage Landscape
Despite not being listed on any heritage register, be it state, local or federal, the Great Dividing Range is considered a place with very special values. It is an historic area within a rugged landscape, with natural forms, buildings, sites and archaeological remains dating back to before European settlement, and the early pioneering settler times in the region. It is a living heritage site with continuing use of buildings, open spaces and transport routs, and natural beauty which also contributes to its historic value.
Browns Falls is a 15 metre waterfall only 4.5 kms outside of Killarney. it is a rock hop walk along the creek through eucalyptus forest and rainforest. It can be a challenge but is well worth it when you come upon the dramatic falls.
Our cottages are surrounded by some of the rugged mountains and natural features of the Scenic Rim, Wilson’s Peak, Mount Superbus, Spring Creek Mountain, while the headwaters of the Condamine River flow past us through the Condamine Gorge. To quote one of our guests “there is a picture framed in every window”.
We have mainly quiet British breed cattle, and you will often see the cows and calves quietly grazing near our cottages.
