Group Booking

On the 17th of May, the Kingaroy Visitor Information Centre and Heritage Museum had a lovely visit from approx. 35 gentlemen from St John's Lutheran Church. They had a great wander around the precinct where they saw the history of the area and watched our peanut video to know how peanuts are grown, harvested and processed in the silos.

Our volunteers opened up our roller door for the group to serve their morning tea and coffee whilst they stayed and had a chat with one another.

To make a group booking, come into one of our Information Centres in the South Burnett or phone 4189 9555!

April Famil 2025

Last week we had a special and fun daytrip to two places in Kingaroy: Kingaroy Kitchen and Kingaroy Bowls Club. On the morning of Thursday the 24th of April, our volunteers were warmly greeted at Kingaroy Kitchen.

Excited to start off our tour, we put on our fashionable blue hair nets ready to get a glimpse on the makings of their goodie range. Our first stop was by their kitchen where all the ingredients are put together to create their delicious food. Next, we saw how the dough of their biscuits is scooped up and squashed down to create the perfect shape and sized dessert. The big ovens next to us cooked the biscuits which then go into their next room where they are carefully bagged and labelled by hand.

Not only did we get to see how they were all made but we were able to taste them too. There was a lovely spread of delicious slices, scones and biscuits laid out for us to snack on for morning tea.

Once arriving at the Kingaroy Bowls Club, we set up our teams and the newbies had a little demonstration from one of the pros. However, after only one game, the rain started coming down on us meaning no more games for now. We couldn’t be too upset as a mix of flavoured wraps were being prepared especially for us by J.C. Catering.

After finishing lunch, we realised it had dried up a bit outside, so we quickly ran out and made the most of our time left playing bowls. The sound of laughter and cheering filled the air as everyone channelled their competitive sides. It did start to spit again but we did not let that stop us as our teams were eager to win! There were definitely some close bowls, and everyone became better as the afternoon went along.

Come into one of our Information Centres in the South Burnett and become a volunteer today to join in on the fun!

Cobb & Co Trip

On the 20th of February, we had the pleasure of taking 42 of our wonderful volunteers on a day trip to the Cobb & Co Museum at Toowoomba. The bus picked up our first attendees at 6:45am making its way from Murgon to Blackbutt. The bus ride to Toowoomba was full of chatter and laughter with all our volunteers catching up with one another.

We finally arrived at Cobb & Co where we were greeted by the lovely staff. Most of those attending had not been to Cobb & Co before and were extremely excited to experience something like this for the first time. The group gathered to start off their tour delivered by none other than the CEO Mr Steve Cooper.

The tour took approximately 1.5 hours where all our volunteers were able to learn lots of new things and see displays that they never have before. They stopped to look at the National Carriage Factory where woodwork, wheelwrighting, silversmithing and leatherwork workshops are held. All were mesmerised by the large variety of aged sulkies, coaches and buggies as well as the lifelike horses within the huge museum. After browsing at the other displays, a lot of history was able to be soaked up by everyone.

It was now time for lunch which Cobb & Co provided a nice selection of meat and salad sandwiches as well as focaccia sandwiches. Between lunch and dessert, Mr Cooper came out to test everyone’s knowledge. For those who answered his questions correctly and the fastest, they were given a little gift as a reward.

After a fun break, dessert was out which included raspberry cheesecake, apple crumble, chocolate truffle slice and caramel tart slice. With a little bit of time left, we all looked round the gift shop within the museum to buy a Cobb & Co souvenir.

It was finally time to hop back onto the bus for a nice drive back home. Everyone not only enjoyed the trip but also the opportunity to mix with and get to know volunteers from other centres. Our volunteers give so much of their time and of themselves, so it was an absolute delight to be able to give back to them in a way that bought smiles to their faces and laughter in their voices.
