Miles

Few towns in Queensland have a history as closely tied to the westward expansion of the railway as Miles. Set beside Dogwood Creek in the Western Downs, the town sits on the Warrego Highway and Queensland's Western railway line, a route that helped connect inland communities with the coast. It was first known as Dogwood Crossing and was renamed Miles in 1910, honouring Queensland politician William Miles. The Miles Historical Village gathers relocated heritage buildings, machinery and domestic collections, giving form to the settler-era story of the district.
