Looking to extend that country feeling beyond the Ekka? Tawny Trails Art & Lifestyle trail offers a free and peaceful country escape, just a short drive from Brisbane. It's a chance to immerse yourself in art and authentic rural life without the crowds or cost.
This isn't just about admiring art; it's about understanding its roots. Travel between vibrant creative spaces, unique and purpose-built studios and galleries, all while being surrounded by the very scenery that fuels the artists' imaginations. You'll pass by the region's last working dairy and pineapple farms, alongside delightful hobby farms, each adding to the authentic tapestry of this beautiful area.
Your visit wouldn't be complete without a stop in Dayboro "the little town of yesteryear." This charming village has all the country charm of the Ekka in a relaxed, timeless setting. Stroll the main street, admire the historic architecture, and soak in the friendly, welcoming community. You can grab a coffee at a quaint cafe, browse unique local shops, and even spot a horse rider.
Tawny Trails is a convenient, crowd-free, and cost-free way to experience authentic country life and quality art. Don't just visit the country—live it.
