Somerset, QLD

Somerset highlights

Alright, let’s dive into the Somerset Region, a hidden gem in South East Queensland! Nestled just west of Brisbane, the place is all about lush landscapes and laid-back vibes. At the heart of it, you’ll find Esk, the town that calls the shots, alongside stunning water catchments like Wivenhoe and Somerset Dams, making it a splashin’ spot for outdoor fun!

This region’s got a pop of over 25,000 souls, giving it a warm, community feel. And you know what? It’s a chill mix of farming, fishing, water sports, and a few cheeky trails for trail riding and cycling. Love hiking? You’re in heaven! The scenic views will make your heart sing!

Tourism’s thriving here too, just a breezy hour’s drive from the bustling city life of Brisbane, but once you hit Somerset, you’ll feel those worries fade. There’s heaps of recreational stuff to do, whether it’s sailing on the dam, camping under the stars, or just kickin’ back by the river.

Plus, the Somerset Regional Council has got libraries and local hangouts that keep the vibe friendly and community-focused. So whether you’re looking for a unique day out or a weekend escape, Somerset’s got something special waiting just for you! 🤗
