KINGAROY & NANANGO I South Burnett Region, Queensland, Australia, Travel Vlog 108, 2022

KINGAROY & NANANGO
This week we drive to the South Burnett region - a very scenic area of Queensland that we've never visited before. The day starts with a drive to Nanango (via the sleepy little town of Linville). Nanango is Queensland’s fourth oldest town and has plenty of country charm. We have a delicious lunch at a local café before continuing our trip to Kingaroy.
Kingaroy is approximately 210 kilometres or about 2½ hours drive north-west of Brisbane. Kingaroy is known as the 'Peanut Capital of Australia'. During the 1980's it was one of Australia's best-known country towns because it was the home of the late Joh Bjelke-Petersen, the long time Premier of Queensland and one of the most controversial politicians of recent times. We visit 'The Big Peanut', the Peanut Van and the giant peanut silo's. We also pop into a local winery where we enjoy some local wine tasting. After a good nights sleep in a local motel, we have a quick bakery breakfast before a wander around town.

Hi, we're Beth & Paul from Brisbane, Australia and we love to travel!
Paul retired on 28th February 2020 and on the 1st March 2020, we set out on a 6-month adventure around South East Asia. This was a well-planned once-in-a-lifetime travel experience! It was our intention to show you how you can have a great time travelling without spending a fortune.
Our timing wasn't great - with the outbreak of the Covid-19 virus and subsequent global turmoil less than a month into our trip.
Until it is safe to travel internationally again, we turn our focus on travelling around Queensland and sharing everything our beautiful State has to offer!
Our videos are posted weekly 😊 (we aim for Thursdays).

Wow, you came to my town, lol. We moved to Kingaroy 20 years ago, for 18 months, and never left. Love the community and the people. A solid and safe place to raise a family. It was great to see it through another persons eyes. Thanks.

[@BethandPaultravel]

Hi @JoJoFisher65 🤗 We loved Kingaroy, we thought it was awesome and wished we had arranged to stay longer. We will be back as we’d like to go to the observatory (it was a full moon when we were there) and also visit the heritage museum ❤️ As visitors, we found everyone very friendly and welcoming 🤗

[@RoseDopff-xf5ip]

Love your comments . You can see from your lovely face that the comments are so genuine!! Love life. Thank you both.

[@BethandPaultravel]

Thanks so much Rose 🤗 We’re really pleased you enjoyed this video!

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

Hello Beth and Paul, It's always so nice to see parts of Brisbane that you've never been to. Just as Harriet and I discover places we have never been to in Virginia.You guys found a hidden gem in Kingaroy. Harriet and I would like to go to Brisbane when it's possible and enjoy those hidden gems. You created a nice vlog with a soothing musical score.Who is it. Thank You you for taking us along.Sending you lots of love💖💖 Jim and Harriet. Richmond, Va.

[@BethandPaultravel]

Thanks so much Harriet and Jim, we’re so glad you enjoyed it 😊 The music was from Chris Haugen and we thought it added to the video. These small towns outside of Brisbane are really struggling right now, so it was great to spend some time and $ there 🤗

[@michellebremner8084]

Great video love watching all your videos.you are a super cute couple them big friendly smiles make me smile everytime😁anyway that area looks like great place to visit definitely going on my list ..ps.love that we got to see puppy included in video.keep smiling take care 🙂

[@BethandPaultravel]

Thanks Michelle, you’re very kind 😊 We loved visiting Nanango and Kingaroy……friendly locals, beautifully maintained old buildings, a strong sense of community and great food and wine ❤️ Yes, Molly the pug came with us and was safely harnessed in her hammock in the back seat. She had a great time too!

[@juliecullis5203]

That was really interesting - it was great to see some of the towns off the main tourist trail. I absolutely love seeing the architecture of the buildings in Queensland as well. Well spotted with the brown snake! I may actually have run a mile if I'd seen it myself..😀Thanks for another fab video both of you! :)

[@BethandPaultravel]

Thanks Julie 🤗 we loved the architecture too! That brown snake was the third we saw in two days….the other two were on walking tracks…but we were too slow with the camera to get them 🙄

[@juliecullis5203]

@@BethandPaultravel 3 in 2 days, oh my! That's rather a lot... I guess though that living in Oz means you're probably much more relaxed around snakes than I am. 🤗😊

[@mehmetodabas4035]

Beautiful

[@BethandPaultravel]

Thanks Mehmet 😊have a great weekend!

[@entropyspin5567]

Late harvest Frontenac :):):) one of my favorites. Thanks for the tour, love seeing the green and that snake had an evil eye!

[@BethandPaultravel]

Ha ha that snake did have an evil eye! It was the third we’d seen in two days. Paul hasn’t opened the Frontenac yet…but it won’t be long 😉 Thanks for watching @Entropy Spin 🤗

[@phillphelan1138]

A great video of the area, I have only visited once but had to stay a week 50 years ago (kangaroo hot my car and bounced out into the beyond -not injured but car smashed), how it has changed little in 50 years philltheflyer -thanks again for another video

[@BethandPaultravel]

Thanks Phil, wow that’s some memory! Yes, it’s such a beautiful region and we were surprised how well the old buildings were maintained in both Nanango and Kingaroy 😊 Thanks for watching!

[@rendezvu84]

great video again thank friends thit you visited Jo Belky Petersen house ? I like the plonk

[@BethandPaultravel]

Thanks so much 🤗 but no, we didn’t see Joh Bjelke Petersen’s house. Ha ha we liked the plonk too!

[@berylperyl5649]

Great video!! You two are awesome 😃

[@BethandPaultravel]

Thanks Beryl 🤗 We thought Kingaroy was pretty awesome! We’re really happy you enjoyed our video ❤️

[@imogenmee5154]

The little country towns are always so lovely. When we go the back way to the sunshine coast we stop as Esk or I think Kingaroy and they are lovely to stop at. What cute little cafes. The history is amazing. It was my 21st birthday on 20th of Jan.

[@BethandPaultravel]

Happy Birthday for last Thursday Imogen ❤️ We hope you had an amazing day x

[@carolblackler9386]

Yummy 😋. There was a Peanut Van in Childers when we were there on holiday. We brought lots back with us. I loved the wasabi ones. Such quiet little towns. Thank you for the trip.💓🙂💓

[@BethandPaultravel]

Yes, they were yummy…..only the raw peanuts are left 😆 These regional towns are very quiet, we haven’t seen many tourists on our travels….

[@carolblackler9386]

@@BethandPaultravel so funny 🤣😂🤣. I made my 🥜🥜🥜 last for over a year 😂. I still have some nougat from Nut World in Yandina. That was 2019.😂🥜🤣

[@BethandPaultravel]

Hi Sarah Jane ❤️ Both great places!!! Beth’s brother lives in Narangba and we visited Dayboro last year with Mt Mee and did a video capturing the fun day we had 🤗 We must go back soon!

[@editssforpeople]

[@BethandPaultravel]

[@jenniclark1064]

We’re really pleased you liked this one Usman 🤗

[@shazza4]

Great video Thank u 😊

[@BethandPaultravel]

Thanks for watching!

[@vintageracer25]

Doing a bit of "detective work" as I watched, I'm thinking that Matthew might have done some of the recording. I know our son, Michael, who is a train buff, would love to clamber around and photograph the Linville station and train cars. Great to see the small inland towns and what I think of as ... the colonial architecture.

[@BethandPaultravel]

Ha ha, yes….he climbed up to take a look at the inside of the train carriage 😉 Matty would much rather be behind the camera than in front of it!

[@waynekerr7838]

Kingaroy is awesome ! boiled peanut is the bomb ! great video Beth and Paul !

[@BethandPaultravel]

Thanks Wayne 🤗 Kingaroy IS awesome! It’s a great town to walk around…so many beautifully maintained buildings. We wished we had more time.

[@MrGogglesful]

Typical Paul getting into a burger, going to call him the Burger king soon! lol

[@BethandPaultravel]

Ha ha that’s true Caleb! Paul ❤️ 🍔 !!!!

[@maronmaron5348]

If I see a brown snake that big I'd faint darling. So glad you're okay lovey.

[@BethandPaultravel]

Ha ha thanks 😊 we were in the car, so we had nothing to worry about. We saw two others on that trip….on walking tracks, but they scurried away quickly. This one stopped after moving off the road and lifted his head up (for the photo maybe?) 🐍
