About Childers
Childers is a charming, thriving, historic town at the southern edge of sub-tropical Central Queensland. The town is set on a high ridge where two highways run together. Childers is within 40 minutes drive of Bundaberg to the north. It is a similar distance from the cities of Maryborough and Hervey Bay on the Fraser Coast. Also a short drive away by car, are several villages, mountain ranges, beautiful long sandy beaches like Woodgate, wide rivers, and several national parks associated with these features. Childers itself has an attractive main street lined with heritage buildings and its famous leopard trees. Several museums display various aspects of the towns culture and history. Childers features a main street memorial to the Kanakers who were brought from Vanuatu and other Pacific islands to labor in the sugar cane fields. The rolling farmlands surrounding Childers make a fine patchwork of fields, producing nuts, tomatoes, and a great amount of sugar cane, stretching to the blue rugged mountains on the horizon. Sugar cane tramlines criss cross the land, and trams of as many as seventy carriages take the harvested cane to the sugar mill several kilometres from Childers. The soil of Childers is a rich red volcanic loam. Its red pigment tends to tint anything light of color, giving rise to the term "Childers White".
