- One of the most important inland towns in the Commonwealth. The city is situated on the top of the Main Range: 1921 feet above sea level and 101 miles by rail from Brisbane. The climate is second to none in Australia and the surroundings are picturesque. The city is well supplied with water and is lighted at night by gas and electricity. The streets are planted with beautiful shade trees of luxuriant growth. Magnificent views can be obtained from Picnic Point Tick Hill and other points handy to the city. The surrounding district is closely settled by a large population engaged in agriculture dairying fruit growing &c. A few days can be spent here by tourists who will find the bracing mountain air most delightful. Many beautiful drives can be had at moderate cost.
