Plan a day trip to this iconic spot in Dayboro to soak in the picturesque, homely countryside town living in the sheltering shadow of the D’Aguilar Mountain Range and vast open fields that roll from hill to hill. The drive north-west of Brisbane has some calming winding roads that are littered with stunning vistas, the mouth-watering Ocean View Estate Winery and Vineyard, tempting bushwalking trails and if you can spot it, an old quaint sawmill.
For those who are coming on the weekend, don’t forget to drop by Pitstop Café with their locally grown coffee beans that are picked and grounded to make a coffee that’s taste is only matched by the scenery around you.
