“Beaudesert is a gateway town to all the amazing places in the Scenic Rim and a friendly, down-to-earth place for a laidback, no-fuss experience.”
In the middle of the township, The Centre is a modern arts space that hosts rotating public exhibitions and arts dinners. There is always something going on, including the quirky public art around town that make you stop and appreciate the local art and cultural contributions.
On the fringe of Beaudesert is evidence of the area’s equine and farming heritage with the Beaudesert Racecourse and polo fields as well as campdrafting and other horse events run through the Beaudesert Show Society that draw visitors and industry professionals as competitors and spectators.
To gain a sense of Beaudesert, stop in town to see the locals going about their business at the boutiques and cafes or on a morning walk. Beaudesert has a range of wonderful country cafes for a bite to eat and barista-made coffee such as Beaudesert Cafe with its fresh modern Asian menu, VK Everyday’s for coffee and specials and Bean To? cafe for homemade fare and friendly service.
A 25-minute drive away, Kooralbyn differentiates itself from Beaudesert with a hilly hinterland landscape and lookouts that offer views across the valley and some charming cafes to enjoy after a scenic journey.
It is something really special to be able to see the mountains and beautiful scenery surrounding Beaudesert, especially in the mornings and afternoons when the sun hits Mt Barney on the horizon.
