FIRST SETTLERS MEMORAL PARK

Public BBQ

Tucked away in the historic coal mining town of Benarkin, this memorial park offers a peaceful retreat from the South Burnett heat. The BBQ facilities here are well-positioned under mature trees, providing natural shade that's genuinely appreciated during Queensland's warmer months. What struck me most was the sense of local history - you can almost feel the connection to the early settlers this park honours. The picnic tables are sturdy and well-spaced, perfect for families wanting a proper sit-down meal. When nature calls, the toilet facilities are a reasonable walk away, clean and functional. It's one of those quintessentially Queensland country parks where the emphasis is on practical comfort rather than flashy amenities - and that's exactly what you want when you're exploring the rural heartland.
