"Boonah" a Boonah Travel Page by iandsmith

The Boonah district tends to include Aratula and Cunningham's Gap, the latter one of Australia's most famous passes as it forms part of a well travesed highway.
Boonah enjoys an pleasant setting in the heart of a prosperous agricultural area.
Situated 84 easy kilometres south-west of Brisbane and just under 100 m above sea-level, Boonah is known as 'The Heart of the Fassifern'.
Timber houses, these days seemingly long forgotten in the major coastal cities, can be viewed in abundance here.
Unlike many Australian towns whose origins lie in mineral wealth, this one was set up for the rural trade in 1882. The crops for the markets (mainly in Brisbane) are potatoes and carrots as well as cereal crops, beef, pork and timber.
