Crows Nest (including Cabarlah)
An attractive and unusual country town.
Crows Nest is a genuinely unusual Australian rural town,
built around a large and attractive village green. Located
179 km north-west of Brisbane, 45 km from Toowoomba, and 527
m above sea-level, it lies in attractive undulating country
and services the surrounding beef and dairy cattle
industries.
In the centre of the village green is the statue of Jimmy
Crow, after whom the town was named, and nearby is the tree
which was his 'nest'. The inscription on the Crows Nest tree
offers an explanation of how Crows Nest got its name: 'In
the early days when teamsters visited this area Jimmy Crow,
an Aboriginal named by early settlers, used a hollow tree as
his gunyah. He was relied on for information and directions.
This place was used as a camping place by teamsters and
travellers and became known as Jimmy Crow's Nest hence the
name 'Crows Nest'.

Carbethon Folk Museum
At the northern end of the town, on the New England Highway,
is the Carbethon Folk Museum. It is an excellent and
comprehensive folk museum. The displays include a number of
interesting buildings (an old wireless shop, a slab hut, an
old Baptist Church) and a collection of over 9000 pieces of
interesting memorabilia, including a covered wagon which
stands outside. It is open Thursdays and Sundays from 1.00pm
- 5.00pm and from 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. on public holidays.
It can be opened at other times by phoning (07) 4698 4162.
Salts Antiques
Nearby is Salts Antiques, housed in a beautiful Edwardian
building with signs outside declaring the business to be
'Specialists in Victorian Furniture, Direct Importers from
the U.K., and a member of the London and Provincial Antique
Dealers'. They do indeed have an amazing display of items,
ranging from old bottles to antique furniture. It is open
from 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. seven days a week but even if it
is closed the window display is worth looking at. Salts is
located at 1 Thallon St, tel: (07) 4698 1266.
Crows Nest National Park
To the east of Crows Nest is the excellent Crows Nest
National Park, 489 hectares of rugged country on the edge of
the Great Dividing Range which includes the dramatic Crows
Nest Falls and a deep rainforest gorge in an area
characterised by open eucalypt forest. Visitors can explore
the walking track which leads into the Valley of Diamonds
where Crows Nest Creek meanders through its deep gorge. For
further information ring (07) 4698 1296.
The Farmers Arms
A few kilometres south of Crows Nest, and only 10 km from
Toowoomba, is the tiny hamlet of Cabarlah. Its great, and
only, claim to fame is the Farmers Arms which, having gained
its license in 1863, claims to the the longest holder of a
continuous liquor license in Queensland. It is located on
the New England Highway,
