About Kilkivan

Gateway to South East Queensland 

Just on the edge of southern Queensland, Kilkivan Shire forms the eastern and northern gateways of the South Burnett region of south-east Queensland, Australia.

The South Burnett is home to two of Queensland's biggest inland waterways (Lake Boondooma and the Bjelke-Petersen Dam) and is also one of the largest wine-growing regions in the State. Most of the South Burnett is located just a few easy, pleasant driving hours from Brisbane (and even less from the Sunshine Coast or Wide Bay).

That's GOLD!
