Painted Power Pole Walk

The poles stretch the length of High Street and extends along George Street from the railway line to the school. This walk tells the story of the Jandowae community, their history, their industry and lifestyle. The art is full of fun, love and vibrant colours rejuvenating the town centre, thanks to the local Dalby artist Graeme McCullough.

Trumpeters' Corner

This is an unusual corner is the home of poignant and heroic stories as well as tall tales. Jandowae barman Mick Brazier gave the name "Trumpeters" to the 21 WWII veterans who drew Soldier Settlement blocks in the region. The men would meet in pub, telling yarns and 'blow their own trumpet'. this quit and peaceful corner now attracts visitors who cannot fail to be moved by the stories.

Reviewed By LocalTraveller4415

This attraction is very iconic and meaningful towards Jandowae. This corner presented itself to be very informative on history from veterans of World War II. These stories are full of bravery and resilience from the people who first settled here. It is very heart warming to read these stories. I highly recommend that you visit Trumpeters corner if ever in Jandowae.

St Helena Island National Park

Considered Queensland's first historic national park, this island features the ruins of a colonial prison, once known as the "hell hole of the South Pacific."

Reviewed By SunnySunshineChaser - Brisbane, Australia

What an interesting tour! The island is just a short boat trip away from Brisbane and offers a lot of surprises. The wildlife is stunning on the island. Thousands of wild wallabies and a lot of butterflies. It was really interesting to dive into the past and learn about the prison and the people that used to live on the island. A fantastic day spent with friends. Highly recommended!

Magnetic Island Forts Walk

If it's nature you like, don't miss a walk through Northern Australia's largest colony of wild koalas on Magnetic Island. The remarkable Forts Walk is the best vantage point for wildlife, spectacular rocky coves and historic military sites. With 360 degree sweeping views of the coast and Coral Sea, this is a walk guaranteed to impress. Home to the best preserved WWII fortification on the eastern seaboard, the Magnetic Island Forts Walk is a reminder of just how close Australia came to being invaded. The walk includes The Forts gun emplacements which are still intact and offers interpretive signage along the way, providing a great insight into the significance of the area. Enjoy this walk in the early morning or late afternoon for the best chance of spotting koalas. Be sure to take water and wear appropriate walking shoes as there are some steep climbs on this walk. Distance: 4km Time: 1.5 hours Grade: moderate

Reviewed By kanumbo - Magnetic Island, Australia

I’ve done this walk several times and never tire of it. The walk is about 2 hours and has some of the best views anywhere on Maggie. There’s some really interesting history about the fortifications during WW2 and we’ve always seen koalas up in the gumtrees. It’s not too strenuous, anyone reasonably fit can do it easily. Just wear proper footwear, not thongs, sandals or bare feet. If you get up early enough, and the weather is favourable, you should get a stunning sunrise...(although I haven’t done it yet!)

There are bottle trees planted for each soldier who gave the ultimate sacrifice in war . A very sobering walk.
