Aloomba Lavender
Aloomba Lavender offers a relaxing experience in Queensland's Granite Belt. The lavender harvest was successful, but the heat can make working tiring. Visitors, particularly campers and RV owners, are often wonderfully friendly and our location is gaining popularity. Planning is underway for the upcoming Granite Belt festival at the end of June and early July, and campsite bookings are recommended. Although our shop is closed in February, we remain available for camping and enjoy meeting the touring coach groups we often host.
