Taroom is a small picturesque country town located on the banks of the Dawson River in the Sandstone Wonders region, an aptly-named region encircled by magnificent sandstone cliffs and mountain ranges, offering adventures into ancient landscapes and rural Queensland pioneering history.
Locals describe Taroom as a friendly town – welcoming to visitors, with some great spots to grab a good country meal, a nice cuppa, a unique gift shop, regular sporting events and river festival, and lovely scenic spots to visit, including having a picnic at Sandy Creek, just on the outskirts of town; or at Isla Gorge – watching the gorge’s colours changing at sunset and sunrise.

The Pullenvale-Pinjarra Hills-Bellbowrie-Anstead-Moggill District covers an area of 55 sq km in the south-west region of Brisbane. It is bounded by the D’Aguilar and Mount Elphinstone Ranges with elevations of 200-600 meters above sea level in the west and north and by the Brisbane River in the south. an easterly corridor, Moggill Road, is the main arterial access to the city via the western Brisbane suburbs of Kenmore and Indooroopilly. The original vegetation that once covered the district was referred to as ‘Araucarian Vine Scrub’ i.e. forests dominated by emergent Hoop Pine (Araucaria Cunningham), nothphyl (medium-sized leaves), and microphyl (small-leaved) trees which supported vines. Within this general classification, three sub-groups could be identified depending on localized growing conditions including soil type, topography, and local climatic conditions. No extensive areas of this original vegetation remain in the district. However, a six-hectare example of the districts’ former vegetation survives at ‘Smiths Rainforest’ in the Brookfield Valley.
