KINGAROY After Dalby and traveling north we pass through Bell and Kumbia on our way to Kingaroy. Kingaroy is known as the "Peanut Capital of Australia" because Australia's largest peanut processing plant is located in the town and peanut silos dominate the skyline. The small, prosperous village grew up around Taabinga in the 1890s but the arrival of the railway in 1904 led to a land explosion around Kingaroy and the development of Kingaroy as it now exists. The Central Business District of the township is dominated by the Peanut Company of Australia's peanut silos (a local landmark). The Information, Art and Heritage Precinct is located directly opposite the peanut silos. The complex includes the Kingaroy Shire Art Gallery, Visitor Information Centre, Heritage Museum and an interpretative arena which highlights local industries. The Heritage Precinct also includes a number of historic buildings ranging from Carroll's Cottage (the first building constructed in Kingaroy) through to the Carrollee Hotel and the Shire's earliest Council Chambers (built in 1918). The Hotels in Kingaroy are the ‘older’ vintage. The Kingaroy War Memorial is located in the Memorial Park The Kingaroy Churches are early century structures and classic design. Kingaroy is a nice town that has managed its heritage carefully and requires longer than an overnighter to enjoy. Heritage diary
