Situated 80km south-west of Toowoomba and 170km
south-west of Brisbane, Warwick Shire is the perfect destination
for a day in the country. The first pastoral settlement in
Queensland, Warwick boasts some of Queensland's finest historical
sandstone buildings as well as stunning natural attractions
and national horse events including the famous Warwick Rodeo.
Warwick also has an interesting history. In
1917 the town became famous when a scallywag local hit visiting
Prime Minister Billy Hughes with a rotten egg! The egg-throwing
incident directly led to the formation of the Federal Police
Force. To learn more on the history of Warwick, visit www.walkabout.com.au/locations/QLDWarwick.shtml.
