The Main Sights
Saturday is your main sightseeing day. Start early to beat the crowds at the top attractions, then take the afternoon at a slower pace.
Warwick Town Clock
Free Open 24 hours (outdoor)A striking 1920s memorial clocktower at the main intersection, surrounded by historic buildings and a small park.
Tip: Best photographed early morning when the light hits the sandstone. Nearby café The Local serves a solid flat white.
Queen Mary Falls
Free Open 24 hoursA 40-metre waterfall with a short 1km walking loop to an elevated lookout platform. Part of Main Range National Park.
Tip: Visit after rain for the best flow. The drive via Spring Creek Road is scenic but rough in parts. No facilities at the falls.
Warwick Historical Museum
0 Daily 12pm-3pmLocal history museum with displays on early settlement, the Condamine River flood, and farming heritage. Entry costs $5.
