Scenic Rim

The Scenic Rim is just an hour from Brisbane, Ipswich, and the Gold Coast, yet feels a world away. Framed by mountains and valleys, this region is a place to celebrate local produce, enjoy breathtaking scenery, and unplug from the everyday.
Destination Scenic Rim is a collection of local businesses dedicated to sharing our slice of Queensland while fostering vibrant, sustainable tourism. Our members—ranging from farmers, winemakers, and brewers to glamping owners and publicans—are passionate locals ready to welcome you to this unique destination.
Whether visiting for a day or staying for a week, the Scenic Rim offers an experience like no other. From 4WD adventures and fishing to bushwalking in pristine national parks, there is something for every explorer. You can taste your way around the region, seek out an adrenalin filled adventure, or simply enjoy the company of friendly farm animals.
Boutique browsing, paddock-to-plate lunches and quiet country roads make this gentle Scenic Rim drive an ideal escape.
