ESK

So if you’re considering coming up to Esk for the weekend, here’s some information on places to stay and things to do.




A pretty historic town within easy reach of Brisbane.
Located 110 km north-west of Brisbane and 70 km from Ipswich, Esk is one of those pleasant, green, leafy and historic towns which, although gracious and stylish, appears to be little more than a main street and a few houses. It nestles under Glen Rock and Mt Esk on the Brisbane Valley Highway.
In fact Esk is the gateway to a region full of hidden delights. The town has a number of interesting historic buildings in an area which boasts the remarkable and elegant Bellevue and Caboonba Homesteads.

OUR RECOMMENDATIONS:

- A walk through the park, up past the council building, exploring the old train station.
- The antique shop on the main street, just after Highland Street.
- Teara’s Cafe, nice coffee and cakes, and cool art on the walls.
