There are a number of historic buildings in Yowie Park,Kilcoy including the former Kilcoy Courthouse, which is now an Art Gallery,
Kilcoy is a town some 99 kms north of Brisbane, on the D'Aguilar Highway, which is accessed from the Caboolture turnoff on the M1.
It is a town steeped in history as it was the land of the Jinibara people, and settled by Europeans in the early 1800's. Read the history
here . The first European name for the town was Hopetown, but in 1908 in changed its name to Kilcoy after Mt Kilcoy nearby.
For a town with a small population, there is a lot happening and it is a busy spot for tourists with a number of interesting places to visit, and being so close to Brisbane is popular for day trippers. As well, many "grey nomads" pass through, as there are a number of caravan parks along the D'Aguilar Highway.
overlooks a beautiful lake, and park which is a great venue for a picnic lunch and perhaps a meet up with a "Yowie".
Local artists feature in the gallery, with exhibitions changing. You can check out for the latest news on their
Facebook page.
The gallery is open Thursdays to Mondays 9 am to 1 pm, and is free to enter (though they do appreciate donations!).
