Goomeri Pumpkin Festival
After breakfast, travel to Wondai to visit the South Burnett Timber Industry Museum and the Regional Art Gallery before arriving at The Goomeri Pumpkin Festival. The festival was originally set up as a way of improving the town's morale and lagging business economy after a prolonged period of drought. Purchase your own morning tea and lunch from the many market stalls and enjoy all the fun of the festival. Other activities include whip cracking, working dog displays and of course, the famous Pumpkin Roll. Depart late afternoon and return to Kingaroy for dinner at the motel.
