History and Geography Facts

The town of Forest Hill is located in the Lockyer Valley region in Southeast Queensland. Just 83 kilometres west of Brisbane and 53 kilometres east of Toowoomba.

With a population just shy of 1,000 people (approximately 968), Forest Hill is home to two beautiful heritage listed large corner pubs, a war memorial and a community built tough.

In the early 1900’s, Forest Hill was Australia’s largest produce distribution centre for Onions, Pumpkins, Beetroot, Carrots and Cotton. Silos were built to house grains and Lucerne.

From the earliest records to present-day, farmers have overcome the extreme weather conditions and other economic factors to remain viable and competitive.
