The likes of Great Barrier Reef and Fraser Island are often what come to mind when people think of tourist attractions in Queensland, Australia. However, Canungra, which is about an hour’s drive from Brisbane, has its own share of activities and attractions to offer to visitors. Dubbed as the “Valley of the Owls,” the town is rooted in the sawmill industry, and some of its historic attractions, such as Lahey’s Canungra Tramway Tunnel and Saint Luke’s Anglican Church, can be traced back to the 1900s. Wine enthusiasts, meanwhile, will want to try out the local flavors of Canungra, which has a thriving wine industry. The town also offers farm stays to travelers who want to experience a slower-paced lifestyle.
