Car Hire Oakey - Mini guide to Oakey

Oakey AU

A small town right smack dab on the Warrego Highway . so get your car hire and take an interesting trek with me. It.s pretty close to Toowoomba and Dalby is just a little Northwest of Oakey. The town got its name from the River close by (Oaks) and is about 402 m above sea level. Oakey came about in the 1840.s primarily due to the excellent grazing lands and slowly but surely the little settlement grew.

If there is any one thing that residents still crow about, it is the famous racehorse Bernborough, who was born and raised right there in their own backyard. His trainer and many Oakeys though he was the greatest equine athlete in history of Australia. As mentioned earlier, in order to enjoy the countryside you definitely need a car hire and while you.re out and about, stop and see the bronze monument in memory of Bernborough.

If you enjoy a good picnic and peaceful surroundings, stop at Brookvale Park and watch the shenanigans of the wallaby and koalas. Then after resting check out the old coal-mining museum and take a tour. This old coalmine has been identified as the smallest coalmine in Australia and was still in operation around 1984.

If the stomach is growling and looking for some good fare, just jump in your car hire and head for Toowoomba . you.ll find bed & breakfast cottages to die for, caravan parks, cottages and even farm stays. Oakey has several nice hotels and motels, but like your car hire, reservations save you money, time and frustration.

Thanks for visiting and remember that Oakey is just any old Australian town . it is now the home of the Australian Aviation Center and just a little north of town, you.ll find a museum that dates back to World War II that has a lot of memorabilia showing how Australia.s aviators played such a major role in the war.
