Sunflowers - they are the epitome of summer, and for good reason. These vibrant yellow flowers are seriously impressive, especially when stretched as far as the eye can see. With sunflower season in full swing from October to March, a road trip to Southern Queensland Country is the perfect weekend day trip. To find this stunning sea of yellow flowers, you'll need to road trip out past Toowoomba and start exploring. So, what are you waiting for? Ditch the beach for these dreamy sights and experience summer at its finest on a good old road trip.
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.
