In and Around Dalby

The Regional Art Gallery holds regular exhibitions and is found in the Cultural and Administration Centre. Take the Heritage Trail or experience the serene natural beauty whilst walking along the path of the Myall Creek - feed the ducks and geese along the way and don't miss the Aboriginal art murals on the building immediately adjacent to the footbridge.

Grain silos are a common sight, as Dalby is the largest rural grain receival centre in Queensland. Livestock properties, fish farm, feedlots and coal mines can also be found in the area. A visit to the Dalby Wambo Saleyards, the largest single day selling centre in Australia on Mondays & Wednesdays is suggested.
