The Somerset Region in South East Queensland covers a large area including the main towns of Fernvale, Lowood, Esk, Toogoolawah and Kilcoy. Discover the heritage of the region in these and other small towns throughout the region.

The Region is also known as the Valley of the Lakes and the area includes the upper and mid sections of the Brisbane River. Visits to the Lakes at Wivenhoe Dam, Somerset Dam and Atkinson Dam provide opportunities for fishing and boating or just relaxing in the day areas with a picnic. Camping facilities are available at each of the Dams.

Discover the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail by walking, riding a bicycle, or riding a horse, following the path of the old Brisbane Valley Rail Line.

 Enjoy a relaxing stay in the region at a farm stay or retreat, or try a stay at one of the camping areas, caravan parks, motels or hotels.
