Forest Hill, Queensland

Black Forest Gift Shop Just five kilometres south of the Warrego Highway, and around 40 minutes from Ipswich, lies the tiny but interesting town of Forest Hill.

It happens to be a town where much of yesteryear still survives by way of two beautiful heritage-listed pubs, a craft shop, antiques and collectables centre, two cafes and more. This little town is well worth a day trip.

Moreover, it is on the Cobb and Co Tourist route, so it is little wonder it has something for the history buffs as well as those that appreciate the fact that in Forest Hill the things of yesteryear mingle nicely with the things of today.

As an alternative to the hurly-burly of the highway, take the more leisurely and more scenic route from Ipswich to Forest Hill via Rosewood and Laidley.
