Helidon sits beside Lockyer Creek in south-eastern Queensland, where the Great Dividing Range gives way to the farming country of the Lockyer Valley. On the Warrego Highway and the rail route linking Brisbane with the west, the small town has long been a practical stop on the road across the Darling Downs. Its identity is tied to mineral springs: Helidon spa water became a recognised local product, while nearby quarries supplied the distinctive Helidon sandstone used in Brisbane City Hall. The surrounding district is shaped by grazing, crops and the changing weather of the inland slopes. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Helidon and the Lockyer Valley.
