Chinchilla

Chinchilla has served as a railway and agricultural centre in Queensland’s Western Downs since the late 19th century. Set beside Charley’s Creek, near the Condamine River catchment, the town occupies broad inland country on the Warrego Highway between Brisbane and the state’s west. It is widely known as Australia’s melon capital, with farms in the district producing watermelons, rockmelons and honeydew melons. The Chinchilla Melon Festival brings this local industry into public celebration through food, competitions and community events.
