Texas is located on the Bruxner Highway, along the banks of the Dumaresq River in southern QLD. The town was originally established on the river flats, but was relocated after several major floods, although remnants of the original township still exist for visitors to explore. The renovated and restored Texas Rabbit Works Factory was officially opened on 13 May 2017, this largely intact example of the struggle to control the rabbit plague and the industry that developed as a result is a must-see on your visit to Texas.
