    ... The opening up of the Binjour Plateau means a great thing for Queensland, and to those who understand the value of scrub selections, it will at once commend itself. On a dull day the cloud masses pass over the slopes of this great fertile region, promising plenty of moisture apart from the regular rains, to the grasses and the crops which now in the future will gladden the earth where the riotous tangle of scrub vines and brigalow hold their sway, and where the giant bottle-trees—those valuable adjuncts to the haystack in dry seasons—stand embowered.

    Coalstoun Lakes National Park Rising 200m above a broad cultivated valley, Mt Le Brun contains two large craters which occasionally fill with shallow lakes. The crater lakes are protected in Coalstoun Lakes National Park. Formed more than 600,000 years ago, the mountain is one of the youngest volcanic formations in Australia. Melaleucas and blue gums fringe the lakes which are sometimes completely dry and covered in sedgelands. The vine scrub covering the crater sides is one of the few dry rainforest remnants in this area. Bottle trees, crows ash, leopard ash, and other trees tower over the dense vine scrub The lakes were named after Coalstoun in Scotland by Wade Brun, manager of nearby Ban Ban Station.

    Chinchilla Famous for its melons and a renowned spot for fossicking, fishing and camping, the colourful town of Chinchilla is an easy drive 81km west of Dalby along the Warrego Highway. The ‘Melon Capital’ of Australia produces 25 percent of the country’s watermelons, rockmelons and honeydew melons and celebrates its status with the biennial Melon Festival.
