Clifton is located in the Darling Downs region of Queensland, approximately 158 kilometres south-west of Brisbane. The idyllic fertile, agricultural land surrounding Clifton has seen it build a successful economy around cereal crops, vegetables, cattle and horses. Clifton’s country charm is evident through the warm, friendly welcome from the locals. The town has long been a farming community since its settlement in 1840, however its original development was planned with consideration to the railway route.
The Clifton Recreation Reserve on Davenport and Morton Streets offers unpowered RV parking for $15 per vehicle per night. There is a generous 2 week time limit and showers, toilets, power (extra fee), bins and covered seating are available. Visitors also have access to the free dump point and potable water at this site.
The town offers many services convenient to visitors including a newsagent, bank, coffee shop, service station, chemist, post office and butcher to name a few. Many historic buildings still remain, including a picture theatre over 100 years old. The town’s streetscapes have been used as a backdrop in many Australian movies, including The Thorn Birds.
