HISTORICAL MUSEUM Bowen’s Museum
Bowen’s Role In World War II
Our museum has been described as one of Queensland's best. Much of Bowen's pioneer history has been preserved and is on display at the museum, in 22 Gordon St. It has been described as one of the best regional museums in the state.
The Coral Sea Museum located at the Bowen Aerodrome is a smaller museum and honours Bowen’s association with Catalina Flying Boats. An interpretative Centre commemorating the Catalina is also situated at the Front Beach foreshore.
Early Years Originally occupied by the Girudala people, the first European to set eyes on the present site of Bowen, was Captain Cook, when he sailed the coast and named the mountainous island off Bowen’s eastern shores Cape Gloucester, thinking it was part of the mainland. He also named Edgecumbe Bay, which boasts the deep waters that attracted Bowen’s first European settlers who were seeking to develop a northern port. Bowen was declared a town in 1861. 10

BOWEN’S
FRONT BEACH
Bowen’s Front Beach is the undisputed focal point of Bowen, a major attraction for both tourists and locals. With the historic Bowen jetty splendid in the background, the foreshore precinct has been transformed into a premier recreational area. It’s a space that is regularly enjoyed by people from all walks of life, backpackers travelling around Australia, couples having an early morning walk, teenagers using the skate park, CBD workers enjoying a quiet spot for lunch, and families using the playground facilities. Families use the large grassy areas to enjoy barbecue dinners and to relax while kids play on the nearby playground or ride bikes and scooters along the wide tracks. A very popular Water Park sits close to the playground and amenities block. A wheelchair friendly swing completes the playground equipment ensuring every child, regardless of their ability
can experience fun at the foreshore. The soundshell and open space is frequently used for all kinds of events, including Australia Day and New Year’s Eve celebrations, concerts and cultural festivals. A Tourist Information Kiosk sits behind the stage, and beside it is a display housed in huge glass panels, recognising Bowen’s involvement in the filming of Australia: The Movie, Bowen’s second mango as well as other information about the town and region. The Catalina Interpretive Centre celebrates the historical significance of the site. It’s located
BOWEN VISITOR INFORMATION CENTRE
beside the hardstand area where in World War 2, Catalinas were maintained and serviced before being redeployed. Information about Bowen’s involvement in World War II and images of the Catalinas are etched into large glass panels which give the effect of the planes coming in to land on the bay when the viewer is looking at the images. It also includes a modern war memorial wall. The precinct is dotted with plaques that explain significant historical events that helped shape modern day Bowen. Mature trees, shrubs and garden beds complete the stunning foreshore.

If you’re on a working holiday most venues can help you find work. Some run buses to and from farms. Being the second largest vegetable producer in Queensland means Bowen has work available during the season from April to November either planting, picking, sorting or packing. Experience is not necessary, many positions offer on-the-job training.
Weather plays an important role in harvesting, as some crops cannot be picked wet. If it rains work may not be available and your income may be temporarily affected. Wages are generally based on the volume of crop picked rather than the number of hours worked.
However vegetable picking is physically demanding. Working conditions can be hot and dusty, so being fit and healthy is important. Early 6am starts are a common requirement of

FISHERIES Bowen is Queensland’s second largest exporter of live coral trout and this industry is worth over $20 million to the local economy The red colour of our fish makes them the most sought after by the Chinese and the market price can vary from $32 to $64kg. The Bowen harbour has 2 unloading facilities that both sell to the local market. Aquaculture is also an important industry in the region with the Good Fortune Bay Fisheries operation north of Bowen producing 1500 tonnes of fin fish annually including Barramundi. 30
Several Whitsunday properties have been recognised as State and National levels for innovative environmental awards designed to protect coastal waters and the Barrier Reef Lagoon. More than 25 million hectares of the Bowen and Collinsville region is devoted to producing beef cattle with an estimated 315,000 head of beef cattle roaming in 175 stations. Local cattle are sold to various markets including abattoirs up and down the coast, live export, to various feedlots, and restocker graziers.

GOLDEN ARROW TOURS A Scenic Tour Around Tropical Bowen
ENJOY the scenic delights of Bowen by following the Golden Arrow Tour prepared for you by members of the Rotary Club of Bowen. Your tour starts at Arrow 1 which is sited some 200 metres on the town side of the Bowen Salt Works. Proceed via Arrows 2, 3 on Leichhardt Street . Arrow 4 is located at the intersection of Herbert and Livingstone Streets. Proceed via Herbert Street and the town’s business centre with its wide streets and centre garden plots. Arrow 5, located at Santa Barbara Parade. Continue from arrow 5 along the harbour foreshore to 6 Arrow 6 located at the roundabout, travelling through the roundabout, your tour will take you via Arrows 7 and 8 to Flagstaff Hill Lookout. The view from the summit gives panoramic views of the harbour and surrounding islands.
However, because of the steep gradient, it is not suitable for caravans. Retrace your journey back via arrows 8, 7 and 6 to Arrow 9 which will lead you back to the intersection of Herbert St and Santa Barbara Paradem, then proceed along the main shopping centre to arrow 10.
Homes Society Nursing Home, Hostel, Day Therapy Centre and Rotary Village.
Arrows 10 and 11, will take you past the State High School and the Showgrounds, to Arrow 12 at the base of Mount Nutt Lookout. Unfortunately, here you must leave your vehicle and walk to top. The scenic view from the base of the water tower lookout commands views of the many small crop farms and mango plantations which contribute to the town’s economy. In the distance, the offshore coal handling facilities of Abbot Point can be seen.
Arrows 22 to 35 will provide you with a tour of picturesque Horseshoe Bay, just one of the many beautiful bays which are ideal for swimming or sunbaking all year round. The view from Rotary Lookout is something which should not be missed. Retracing your journey back to Arrow 26, your tour will continue to Rose Bay and the magnificent view of Gloucester Island and Kings Beach. Your tour will then return via Arrows 27 to 30 where it will end at Mullers Lagoon with its abundant wild birdlife.
Arrow 13, continues through the beachside suburb of Queens Beach via Arrows 14 to 19. Arrow 20, you will pass the Bowen Golf Club nestling along the shores of Queens Beach. Arrow 21 turns into Wests Lane, your journey continues past the Bowen Old People’s
On the opposite side of the road is Cunningham Villas, once a retirement home for ex-servicemen and women. It is now open to all.
We, the Rotarians and citizens of Bowen, trust you have enjoyed the Golden Arrow Tour and hope you will return to our delightful spot on the Coral Coast. Rotary meets at the Central Hotel each Tuesday at 6.30pm

COLLINSVILLE
The historic mining town of Collinsville is located 85km west of Bowen, about a 45 minute drive, situated in the foothills of the Clarke Range. The Collinsville Developmental Road will take you inland to an area rich in coal mining and grazing history. The Collinsville area was opened up as a grazing run in early 1861, Strathmore Station being the first in the district. During the 1880s several gold mines were operated at Ukalunda, My Wyatt, and Normandy and later at Mt Coolon. In 1865, reports of a large coal deposit at Moongunya resulted in extensive testing and mining eventuated in 1919. The area was renamed Collinsville in 1921. The main township of Collinsville was established in late 1922 when 20 homes were erected. The 40
State School and Police quarters were already operational, as were a general store and butcher shop. A hospital opened in 1926 and the town received reticulated water in 1930, with electricity connected in 1947. In 1967 a powerhouse was opened. It closed in 1988, was later privatised and reopened in 1997 and closed again in 2013. While in town, stroll around and look for the historical mining murals and heritage signs that will provide an insight into the lives of the region’s early settlers. A visit to the Miners Memorial and Coalface Experience Museum is a must. Visit the Collinsville Bakery for their famous fresh bread, stroll downtown and delight in locally made Arts and Crafts or simply enjoy a delicious cup of coffee. There is a pleasant 3.7 km walkway from Collinsville to Scottville that provides easy walking or biking for those who want a bit of exercise.

Collinsville’s latest tourist attraction is the Pit Pony Experience which celebrates the lives of Australia’s last working mine Pit Ponies. Retired in 1990, Wharrier and Mr Ed marked the end of a long history of miners and pit ponies working side by side as mates. Centred around a a life size Collinsville Pit Pony sculptured in bronze, the Pit Pony Experience acknowledges the contribution from the community on a donaters wall located behind the horse. Around town are various”selfie” walls where visitors and locals alike can picture themselves along side the loved pit ponies. A tourist route via a smartphone app has also been established through the small town to show off local attractions and to assist local business.The Pit Pony Experience is a true reflection of the strong values of comradeship and community found in Collinsville.
FREE 72 HOUR CARAVAN / RV REST AREA
VISITOR INFORMATION
Collinsville offers a self-sufficient, 72 hour FREE Caravan & RV Rest Area in the local Showgrounds. This rest area includes access to Potable water and an RV dump point available for your needs. Collinsville’s historical mining heritage trail is a must on your inland journey.
The Visitor Information Centre is now located near the new RV Area in the Collinsville Showgrounds for the convenience of our visitors. Make this your first stop, for brochures and information on what to do and where to go.
Originally established in about 1860, the building was donated to the National Trust of Queensland in 1974 by Ted Cunningham, of Strathmore Station. It was abandoned for sometime but in 2003 was rebuilt and now comprises of two buildings connected by a covered walkway. The building is an example of careful bush carpentry and skilled joinery.
The Collinsville and Scottville District Historical Society’s historical display is situated on the second floor alongside the Community Hub and local Centrelink agency.
MINERS MEMORIAL DAY
COAL FACE MUSEUM
BOWEN RIVER HOTEL - STRATHMORE PUB
Miners Memorial Day is held every year on the 13th October, in memory of the 26 men that have lost their lives in the Collinsville mines. The memorial is held at the Workers Club, Home of the Coal Face Experience. October 13 is the day of Collinsville’s worst disaster which occurred in 1954, when 7 men tragically lost their lives in an underground explosion.
Collinsville’s Mining Heritage Centre, the Coalface Experience, is dedicated to the history of Queensland’s coal mining industry and showcases the rich mining heritage of the region.
The hotel has a licensed bar, an informal beer garden that is family friendly and serves lunch and dinner. Accommodation is also available. There’s also a collection of photographs, paper clippings and memorabilia from early years. The immediate surrounds are abundant with wildlife and fish in the Bowen River are plentiful. Camping is offered for a small donation near the hotel. Every May Day long weekend, a fishing competition is hosted at nearby Terrible Creek. The Bowen River Rodeo and Campdraft is held on a weekend in June.
Stories of struggle, strife and mateship are played out at a range of interactive displays, audio-visual exhibits, two theatrettes and historical records presenting visitors with a great interpretation of the past, present and future of Queensland’s coal mining industry. The museum also shows visitors what life was like for the coal miners, both above and below ground in the 1950s. The museum’s opening coincided with the 50th anniversary of the town’s biggest underground mining disaster, in which seven men were killed in an underground gas explosion on October 13, 1954. It honours those men, and 19 others who have also lost their lives on the Collinsville coalfield. Collinsville was recognised as a potential coalfield as early as 1866, when the area became known as the Bowen River Coalfield. Railway construction from Bowen started in 1916 and full scale coal production started in 1922 following the railway’s completion that provided access to coastal markets.
BOGIE RIVER BUSH HOUSE Nestled in 25 acres of virgin bush land, a short drive from Bowen is a tranquil, relaxing local secret, known as the Bogie River Bush House. Surround yourself with abundant wildlife and birdsong, have lunch at the poolside cafe, take morning tea on the veranda, take a dip in the swimming pool or go on a walk. Upcoming events - movie nights, boot camps, mother’s day special. Day trippers are welcome. Be sure to call ahead on 4785 3407. Don’t miss the morning sunrise, close encounters with our furry local residents whilst being treated to real home style cooking and hospitality, a delight for children and adults alike, it’s great to be in the bush.
BOWEN RIVER RODEO AND CAMPDRAFT The Bowen River Rodeo and Campdraft is held annually on the Queen’s Birthday long weekend in June at the rodeo grounds behind the Bowen River Hotel. Campsites are available over the weekend & there is also plenty of live entertainment.

CREEK PICNICS
MURALS
MT COOLON
Have a picnic on the banks of any of our local creeks. The creeks usually have a good flow in them during the April-Nov wet season.
Several Murals, depicting historic figures and scenes of historical mining activities, are painted on local business walls and contribute to the street beautification scheme.
Mount Coolon is famous for its Gold mining history, its pioneering grazing families and their experiences under harsh conditions. Mount Coolon is on the intersection of the Bowen Developmental Road and the
3 MILE CREEK 3 Mile Creek is part of the Pelican Creek system and is located 15 minutes west of town as you travel through Scottville and out along the Myuna Road. It’s a great little swimming hole and picnic area.
The latest Murals illustrate the importance of the Pit Pony to this unique mining community and the Coal industry in general and are part of a larger mural project linking Collinsville and Bowen.
PELICAN CREEK Pelican Creek is a nice little creek that runs from the north east of town round to the western area. It’s easily accessible from several locations.
40 FOOT 40 Foot is nestled up in the heart of Mt Devlin and in the wet season puts on a lovely waterfall display. A 15 to 20-minute hike up Mt Devlin will see you at the waterfall.
TERRY’S CREEK Terry’s Creek is a 15-minute drive along the Peter Delemothe Road towards Bowen. It is another popular picnic and swimming place in the wet season.
Suttor Developmental Road. Approximately 124 km from Collinsville. Only 75km of the road is bitumen sealed. A jackeroo called Luke Reynolds from Yacamunda Station discovered gold there in 1913. Thomas Coolon was the first to peg a claim in 1914. Today the town boasts an array of old buildings and ruins to capture the imagination.
PIT PONY TAVERN BOWEN RIVER WEIR Bowen River Weir is about a 20-minute drive from Collinsville. Take the Mt Coolon Road out of town and when you get to Sonoma Mine, the turn-off to the weir is on the left hand side, opposite the mine’s entrance. The road can be rough at times so drive to the road conditions. The weir is a popular fishing and camping spot and the local fish stocking association restock the weir with barramundi fingerlings each year. The Collinsville water supply is pumped from here and is controlled by Sunwater. Be aware, saltwater crocodiles do inhabit these waters.
Pit Pony Tavern opened its doors on the 12th March 2015 The hotel was formally known as the Town and Country Hotel with the name change came a full renovation turning the hotel into a modern hotel. The Bistro houses Pit Pony Pictures and Memorabilia dating back to the 60’s as well a full size picture of the last working ponies here in Collinsville Mr Ed and Warrier. Pit Pony Tavern is also the 2016 Bowen and Collinsville Large Business of the Year winner . Come on in and enjoy great service meals and a cold drink the hotel also has accommodation available for those who wish to make a night visit to the town.
