Upcoming Events in Western Downs

North of Dalby, the town of Jandowae welcomes visitors to their friendly country community. The Dingo Barrier Fence – ‘the longest fence in the world’ has its northern end near Jandowae. The fence is 5600 kilometres long and stretches to the Great Australian Bight. A two-metre high dingo sculpture by Scottish artist, Andy Scott, takes pride of place in Jandowae’s main street. Pick up some local produce at the country markets, held the fourth Sunday of the month in Lions Park. The biennial Timbertown Festival, next in June 2018, features markets, roving entertainment, a gala art show, a ute show, a rodeo and bronc extravaganza. Jandowae Dam is a popular fishing, swimming, skiing and boating spot. Farm stays are also available in the area. You can expect to find many of the amenities of much larger towns in this thriving country centre.
