Mike BrunkerAward winning beaches and a vibrant community make Bowen the perfect holiday spot for families, couples and singles alike.

There is plenty to see and do in Bowen; viewing the magnificent murals displaying Bowen’s history, enjoying one of the many bush walks around the bays, wander up Flagstaff Hill to take in the views, stroll along beautiful sandy beaches, go snorkelling, diving, fishing, windsurfing or sailing on our brilliant blue waters, or just relax and soak in the beautiful northern sunshine.

Bowen offers good shopping, beachfront golf and the Summergarden movie theatre features the latest films.

Established in 1922 and continuing the tradition of fellowship and mateship established in its formative years as a coal mining town, Collinsville rates high on the friendliness scale. The warm reception extended to any traveller is worth a detour off the usual tourist track. A large billboard depicting a mighty open cut mine at the town’s entrance accompanied by a sign advising visitors that ‘Collinsville is a place that you will always come back to’ provides the first glimpse of the town’s undeniable sociability.

There is no shortage of great sights and fun activities in the region – take your pick! Enjoy your time in our lovely towns and take the time to chat to friendly people in our communities.
