Come for a visit, it isn't far from Brisbane......

Caboolture is about 40 minutes north from Brisbane. There is a nice park in the town with a large lake and fountain.
Nearby, is the Abbey Museum of Art and Archaeology which has a collection of priceless antiques and art from up to 250 000 years ago.

A MUST VISIT....Is Caboolture's Historical village which features a collection of restored buildings.

Hi Dee, I really enjoyed reading about your visit to the historic village! It sounds like a great day out. How nice that you could revive some memories from your childhood! Also great to see that Caboolture can be reached by train from Brisbane. And I never heard of the Yowie before!

Caboolture looks like a very interesting place in which to experience what life was like in the 'old' days! I enjoy poking around in places like this too. Loved the Barrumundi meal description - been a while since I've had one of those!

very nice with excellent pics. i will be doing similar trips in Ontario this year. Virginia and North Carolina will come later in summer. seems Brisbane can serve as centre for exploring QLD in all directions.

The Maritime Museum with a model of the Endeavour would have been very interesting for me if I visit Caboolture. A very interesting tip about Yowie= Yetie. Thank you Dee for sharing!
