Childers is a small town 325km from Brisbane on the Bruce Highway. The township is set on top of rolling hills of red soil framed by green fields of sugar cane. In 1902 a disastrous fire destroyed much of Childers but the subsequent rebuilding has given us the amazing variety of architectural styles still largely intact today.

Childers was created for and is sustained by the sugar industry. Once a small town which people drove through without stopping, it is now a tourist stopping spot and is well worth the stop.
