Australia Sunflower Fields

The Southern Downs in Queensland is beautiful rich farmland. Sunflower season is from January through March each year and the flowers are a real treat! They photograph well anytime during the day when the sun is out. (yes, even midday!) Golden hour is wonderful too, but dont leave it too late because the flowers droop when there is no sun.

First go to the Warwick visitor information centre in the main street or phone them on +61746613122 and ask where the flowering locations are. There are many fields planted and not all are in flower at the same time. Put the address(es) into your GPS and off you go! When you reach the fields, park by the roadside. Take insect repellent to deter the flies.

The spot is a 2 plus hours drive south west of Brisbane. Warwick is a large regional centre with accommodation. There is plenty to see in and around the area and it is a good location for a weekend getaway.
