PCA Kingaroy Peanut Festival

Other Great Things
To See And Do In Kingaroy

If you'd like to use the opportunity of visiting the Peanut Festival to discover more about the South Burnett, you can find out a lot more about our region and its many attractions by visiting South Burnett Tourism, South Burnett Online, South Burnett Biz, South Burnett Cuisine or South Burnett Wine.

Kingaroy is also one of the two hubs of the South Burnett Wine Trail (the other hub is at Murgon, Redgate and Moffatdale - about 55km to the north). Many visitors enjoy dropping by our wonderfully relaxed wineries; taking in the breath-taking views at the Bell Tower Restaurant; or sampling unique regional cuisine in our local restaurants.

Just as many others enjoy the first-class fishing and watersports available at nearby Lake Boondooma or the Bjelke-Petersen Dam (both rated as the best inland waterways in Queensland). And other people find the world famous Jurassic-era Bunya Mountains - just 55km east of Kingaroy - an irresistible destination.

Naturally, if you'd like personal help about what to see and do during your stay you shouldn't hesitate to drop into any of the South Burnett Tourism Association's four Visitor Information Centres.

Kingaroy's Visitor Information Centre is located in Haly Street opposite the peanut silos (and you really can't miss these if you drive into Kingaroy - they're the tallest structures in town!)

Other Visitor Information Centres are located in Henry St, Nanango immediately next to Nanango Shire Council's offices; inside the South Burnett Region Timber Industry Museum on the Bunya Highway at Wondai; and in Lamb Street, Murgon - right in the heart of town.

Peanut Information

Many people are fascinated with peanuts and how they're grown and prepared.

If you're one of them, then make sure you drop into the Kingaroy Visitor Information Centre in Haly Street opposite the peanut silos.

They have a wonderful video that explains just about everything you'd like to know about this astonishing plant. And if it doesn't, the friendly staff at the Centre are more than happy to answer your questions. The video presentation is completely free and available for viewing at any time.

Taxis and Petrol

If you need a taxi to get to or from your accommodation at the Festival, call Kingaroy Taxis on 13-10-08. They maintain a modern fleet of vehicles and can ferry you anywhere you'd like to go.

There are also plenty of petrol stations in and around Kingaroy if you're driving your own vehicle. But it sometimes comes as a surprise to city dwellers that most of them keep the same hours as normal retail businesses.

But if you need petrol outside normal trading hours, you'll find a 24-hour service station located on the Bunya Highway on the southern side of town. Just follow the signs that point to Kumbia and Dalby - it's immediately opposite the roundabout just before you leave the township area.
