Biloela

Biloela is the cultural and commercial heart of the beautiful Banana Shire. Biloela is an aboriginal word for white cockatoo and hub of the magnificent twin valleys of Callide and Dawson in the Banana Shire.

Mt Scoria

Mt. Scoria means "place of Fused Metals". This amazing 150m high rare rock formation, was once the core of a volcano, and long six sided basalt columns on top of the mountain project outward like fingers. When struck with another rock, they produce a delightfully musical sound.
The delightful cottage winery offers a unique experience. The wine is made in the traditional manner and is free of all preservatives or artificial colouring.

Lake Callide

Lake Callide provides a delightful space to relax and enjoy the sight of a myriad of bird life, including the majestic pelicans and swans. Picnic facilities and toilets are easily accessible. The Lake is kept stocked from the in-ground breeding ponds, and fishing is a pleasant pastime enjoyed by many.
