 Description of Childers

From Brisbane GPO drive 311 km on the Bruce Highway to the National Trust town of Childers. The township is set on top of rolling hills of red soil framed by green fields of sugar cane. In 1902 a disastrous fire destroyed much of Childers but the subsequent rebuilding has given us the amazing variety of architectural styles still largely intact today. Take a stroll through the cool Leopard tree lined streets.Childers is a town of 5,000 residents in Queensland.
