Beaudesert

Beaudesert is a quaint rural town situated in scenic mountain hinterland, less than an hour from Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Often enjoyed as a convenient stop-off point on the Mt Lindesay Highway, Beaudesert is a buzzing destination in its own right. The ever-popular country markets here teem with local produce and high quality craftwork. Galleries display the well-respected works of the local art community. A smattering of high quality restaurants serve exquisite meals to appreciative patrons, while a growing number of boutique vineyards perfectly complete the picture of a food lovers' paradise. There is also a good selection of boutique accommodation that is perfect for a romantic getaway. The Beaudesert shire is also well known for its majestic national parks and rainforests, including the World Heritage parks of Mt Tamborine, Mt Lindesay, Mt Barney, Mt Ernest, Mt May and Mt Maroon. The spectacular scenery makes bushwalking a popular activity. Of course, a leisurely drive out on the winding country roads is not to be missed, with a stop at a country pub for lunch, where the food is a generous as the hospitality.
