Childers is located in southern Queensland, at the junction of the Bruce and Isis Highways. The township lies 325 kilometres north of Brisbane and 52 kilometres south-west of Bundaberg. This historical town is positioned on a ridge with magnificent views overlooking thousands of hectares of vivid green sugarcane and avocado farms. Childers offer wide, tree-lined streets with a relaxed and welcoming country atmosphere. Visitors can step back in time as they visit the town’s many historical buildings, some well over 100 years old.
Those visiting Childers can find short-term parking at Childers Overnight Stay Area and park for up to 20 hours. Additional parking is also available at Apple Tree Creek, as well as the Sugar Bowl Caravan Park. A dump point and potable water can be found along Crescent Street.
Just seven kilometres north of Childers on the Bruce Highway is the delightfully named rural township of Apple Tree Creek, and nearby Woodgate Beach offers an unspoilt coastal playground for visitors seeking peace and quiet.
