Chinchilla Museum

Take a step back in time and visit the Chinchilla Historical Museum to experience the town just as it was in its pioneering days. On the first Sunday of the month, let the kids slip back to yesteryear riding the miniature train that snakes through the museum grounds. Barakula Forest

Barakula is the largest state forest in the Southern Hemisphere: great for cycling, taking a drive along the forest roads and bush walking. Chinchilla Weir

A great spot for fishing, swimming and bird watching, with a newlyupgraded campground perfect for weekend staycations.

The Big Melon

Visit Wotif’s ‘Next Big Thing’ attraction for a fun photo or selfie. While you’re there, stop by the Visitor Information Centre to get your fossicking license. Charley’s Creek

Charley’s Creek winds its way around the outskirts of town and there’s a walking track beside the watercourse to hug its journey. Chinchilla Botanic Parkland

Spread over 4.2 hectares of green space, kids can make a splash in the watermelon-themed water park, put on their best Spider-Man impersonation on the rock climbing wall, or ride their bike or scooter along the enclosed pathways throughout the parkland.

Experience Chinchilla, our small town has a big heart. With plenty to do, including cultural activities, active sporting clubs and groups, and the opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors, there’s fun activities for the whole family.
