In the farmyard
In the farmyard
Take a drive to the Scenic Rim and you might be surprised to spot paddocks of camels in the middle of the countryside. Here, fertile soil means that almost anything can be grown or farmed. Step through the farm gate and you’ll be greeted with old-fashioned, Aussie hospitality – perhaps an invitation to taste camel milk, have a go at making sheep’s cheese, or stay awhile on a sixth-generation dairy farm.

Take a break from the big smoke with a Scenic Rim farm stay that comes with all the trimmings. Gather your friends or family for a getaway to Mount French Lodge, where you’ll have panoramic views of the surrounding farmlands and a taste of the region’s rich bounty via the vegetable garden onsite. Or, check in to Verandah House Country Estate for true country luxury amidst nature, just a stone’s throw from nearby walking trails and waterfalls
Private and guided
Private and guided
Looking for an experience that’s a little off the beaten track? Private tours are a great way to become mates with the locals, see behind-the-scenes, and explore a little further. On a guided experience with Reveling, you could be whisked away to stroll through lush rainforests, taken on a gastronomical journey with cheese and wine pairings, and wind up dining al fresco on a hilltop.

In this rural paradise, paddock-to-plate is the star of the show. At the Scenic Rim Farm Shop and Cafe, the name says it all - here, you can wander the picturesque grounds, sit in the shade of a jacaranda tree and watch the seasons at play on the surrounding farmland. Tuck into a meal made from ingredients grown and harvested just down the road, and enjoy the slow pace of life in this laidback part of the world.
