About Chinchilla
Known for its quirky and fun-filled biennial Melon Festival, Chinchilla is a vibrant country town in the heart of the Western Downs.
But don’t be fooled by this small town’s size, it belies its population with the quantity of produce grown in the region. In fact, Chinchilla produces 25% of Australia’s watermelons.
Try your luck fossicking for petrified wood or wander the shady tree-lined main street. Visit nearby country townships of Brigalow, named after the local brigalow trees and Kogan with its public artworks and sculptures that have added vital history to the local area.
