Story

Welcome to the official page for the Sandstone Wonders, Queensland, Australia – established by the Banana Shire Council.

Sprawled across almost 82,000 km2, the immense and diverse landscapes of the Sandstone Wonders region are nothing short of awe-inspiring.

Bastions of a world before time, more than 25 mountain ranges make up the area and for its sheer size and scale, it’s known as ‘the roof of Queensland’.

Gaping valleys and plains rise up to towering cliff tops, interrupted here and there by deep gorges, rocky outcrops and flowing, freshwater streams.

Several ranges fall within easy distance of townships that skirt the Dawson and Leichhardt highways, including Isla Gorge National Park, Lake Murphy Regional Park, Expedition National Park, Robinson Gorge, Lonesome, Beilba, Kroombit Tops National Park and Nathan Gorge.

The Banana Shire area is renowned for river fishing and natural area camping. Towns of the Banana Shire include Biloela, Taroom and Theodore.
