Best time to visit the sunflower fields
Sunflowers only stay in bloom for approximately 3-4 weeks. What this means is that you need to make sure you get your timing right. Luckily, the sunflower fields are usually grown in stages, so even if some fields are no longer blooming, others might be. In saying that, when weather comes into play, it really comes down to luck and good timing. The highest chance of seeing these beautiful flowers is between January to March where they could be blooming anywhere between October to March.
To avoid disappointment, give Southern Queensland Country visitor information centre a call here and double check if sunflowers are blooming.

ImportantWhen visiting the sunflower fields...
Respect the farmers and their hard work by not walking through the fields without asking permission to take a photo. It is best to enjoy the sunflowers from a distance as this will also protect you from any snakes that may be lurking in and around the crops. Look for a safe place to park and make sure to look in both directions before crossing the road. Remember to practice safety measures each time you go on a road trip.Map of sunflower fields
