Craggy blue mountain ranges are a backdrop for Biggenden, known as 'the Rose of the Burnett'. Along with agricultural pursuits - beef, grain crops, dairying, piggeries, peanuts, citrus and timber - the area is rich in minerals.
Cattle sales are held every second Monday - a great attraction for visitors. This district also contains two of Queensland's relatively undeveloped National Parks - Mt Walsh and Coalstoun Lakes National Parks - and large tracks of forest. Coongara Rock also provides excellent mountaineering and views.
