Located north of Toowoomba on the New England Highway, Cooyar is a tranquil country village. The wide verandahs of Cooyar Hotel are a friendly spot for a drink and the low-down on what to see and do around the town.

Each February Cooyar's Agricultural Show features great country competitions, including a night rodeo.

See the piccabeen palms, large strangler figs, buyna and hoop pine trees and buttressed trees. Or simply stop there for a picnic on your way back from the Buyna Mountains. ...
