Apple Tree Creek, Booyal, Isis Central Mill, Cordalba
Travelling 7 kilometres north of Childers on the Bruce Highway you will arrive in the village of Apple Tree Creek. The historic rotunda and show ring are found beside the picnic area on the highway. After leaving Apple Tree Creek, the highway splits with the Bruce Highway heading north through Booyal and Wallaville to Gin Gin and the Isis Highway north-east into Bundaberg.
Booyal is a small community on the Bruce Highway, 20 kilometres north of Apple Tree Creek on the way to Gin Gin. Here a road heads off to Biggenden. For futher details, see the Burnett Circle pages. A roadhouse services travellers.
Not far along the Isis Highway is the turnoff to the Isis Central Mill. This is one of the few sugar mills in Queensland which operate fully conducted tours showing aspects of the sugar industry from growing to the production of raw sugar. Wear appropriate clothing eg: no thongs, sandals, high heeled shoes or loose clothing. Tours operate only during the harvesting season - July to November.
Cordalba is a delightful hamlet nestling in the hills just off the Isis Highway near the sugar mill. The Commercial Hotel (1894) has been faithfully restored to its former glory. Bundaberg is less than 40 kilometres drive from here.
