Experience the Somerset region

G’day and welcome to Somerset. Located in the heart of Southeast Queensland, we’re just an hour from the Brisbane CBD and the gateway to Toowoomba and the Sunshine Coast. We’re a large region of lakes and landscapes, in fact, we’ve got 5,382km2 of countryside for you to explore.

We’re home to the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, Australia’s longest recreational rail trail, so there’s 161km of high-quality track just waiting for you to cycle, hike or horse-ride. Our lakes are second to none and the perfect spot to drop a line or take a dip.

Our little country towns are the heartbeat of our region. We are proud of our small local businesses, which still believe in country hospitality and value high quality produce and experiences. Here in Somerset, we also love a generous serving of home-cooked tucker. That’s why our local cafes and pubs always serve up the goods packed with fresh Somerset flavours. What’s more, with a range of accommodation styles available, there’s always plenty of room to stay when you visit.

To experience Somerset to the fullest, drop into one of the accredited visitor information centres at Fernvale and Kilcoy to chat with a local and pick up a copy of the Experience Somerset visitor guide.
