Yelarbon, Queensland

Yelarbon meaning water lily which grows in a lagoon, is noted for many interesting things.

The area grew the first commercial tobacco crops in Australia in the late 1870's and tobacco curing barns can still be seen from the highway.

Yelarbon is also known for its spinifex desert, an unusual phenomenon surrounding the town.
