Perched on the edge of the Great Dividing Range, Ravensbourne was a traditional bush tucker refreshment stop for Aboriginal people en route to and from the Bunya Mountains nut festivals. Punctuated by patches of rainforest, the drive to Ravensbourne along the winding Esk-Hampton road is one of the regions prettiest drives.

Ravensbourne National Park is just down the road and is a day-use park with short walks through palm groves, rain forest and open eucalypt forest teeming with native birds. Gus Beutel lookout provides a panoramic view over the Lockyer Valley and the Border Ranges, and offers a beautiful picnic spot.

You can go bush walking, boating, fishing, bird watching or picnic at nearby Lakes Cressbrook and Perseverance, and all within a 40 minute drive from the Toowoomba CBD, and only 20 minutes from Esk.

The owners have given us very strict instructions- this home must be sold!
