Things to See and Do:

Childers is a well preserved historic town on the main road between Brisbane and Bundaberg. Visitors can step back in history as they visit the town's many historical buildings, some dating back to Queensland's early pioneering days. The Childers Pharmaceutical Museum and the Childers Military Museum are specialist museums where the history of particular trades can be explored. The Pharmaceutical Museum is also the Tourist Information Centre.

The town is positioned on a ridge with magnificent views overlooking thousands of hectares of vivid green sugarcane and avocado farms. Nearby Woodgate Beach and Burrum Coast National Park offer an unspoilt coastal playground for visitors seeking peace and quiet.

Whilst in Childers, be sure to sample some Mammino's award winning home made icecreams, which are locally available at their shop, as well as macadamia nut products, honey, spreads and fudge.

Visit the unspoilt coastal playground of Woodgate Beach and National Park for a picnic and enjoy the 18km of beach which is ideal for fishing and sailing. There are also a number of walking tracks which are ideal for bird watching.
