As all travellers know — an adventurous life is a life well-lived. So dust off your passport, pack your gear and say hello to Lawes!
It sits 910 kilometres north of Canberra, the capital of Australia.
Does relaxing by the ocean interest you? Organise an excursion to Sutton's Beach or Colmslie Beach Reserve.
Take a long, deep breath and gaze at the natural surroundings of Ravensbourne National Park. It sits 30 kilometres away from Lawes. You can also find some quiet time at Highfields Falls, 40 kilometres away.
You might also consider the University of Queensland - Gatton Campus. It's a perfect spot to explore if you've got a free afternoon.
You'll find even more just around the corner. Hatton Vale, 15 kilometres to the east, is known for the Rosewood Railway Museum and the Hatton Vale Golf Club. Alternatively, if the Queensland Raceway and the Willowbank Raceway are more appealing, travel 25 kilometres east from Lawes to Rosewood.
Go on an adventure and see what's on offer in Toowoomba. This destination is 35 kilometres away and pretty close to Queens Park, the City Golf Club and Laurel Bank Park. Of course, don't miss the Empire Theatre and the Cobb & Co Museum either.
Eating is one of life's biggest pleasures, and since you're reading this, you probably think travel is too. Combine your fondness for both by getting out and tasting the local food and beverage offerings at a handful of the cafés, bars and restaurants in town.
Do you want to know some of the popular ingredients that are used here? Prepare to taste beef and bush tucker in quite a few of your meals.
Ask one of the locals what dish best represents the region and salt and pepper squid will probably be the first thing they mention. Meat pie is another local classic you ought to sink your teeth into.
Dessert is always a good idea, so why not get stuck into some peach melba? It's worth every magnificent calorie!
Life's not all beer and skittles, but there's definitely nothing wrong with savouring a cold one every once in a while. When you're in this area, ensure it's XXXX Summer Bright Lager.
Bundaberg Spiced Rum is worth sampling. Straight up or mixed? The bar person is bound to have a few taste bud-tickling recommendations.
Begin your night the right way with a splash of a local favourite like Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon or Riverina Chardonnay. Taste for structure, texture and balance, or simply have a bottle with your mates.
With just a small amount of your holiday budget left, don't forgot to grab some postcards of the beautiful Darling Downs region before it's time to go.
When it's time to pack your bags and head home, the closest terminal, Brisbane Airport (BNE), is 80 kilometres to the east.
