Upcoming Events in Western Downs

The little town of Kaimkillenbun, has the longest single place name in Queensland and is known to the locals simply as 'The Bun'. Kaimkillenbun's closest major town is Dalby (24 kilometres to the south west) and it is a great place to stop in when driving to the Bunya Mountains. This enthusiastic township has won the community action award in the Tidy Towns Competition and is a regular finalist and category winner. Kaimkillenbun was the setting for the movie 'Chase Through the Night' which starred Nicole Kidman. It is also the birthplace of Olympic basketballer John Dorge. Accommodation and country meals are available at the historic 'Bun Pub', and there is also a caravan park for your accommodation needs. The locals will be more than happy to share a yarn with you and help you discover the history of the town.
