Home of the Australian Camp Oven Festival, a great place to visit and stay and an even better place to live. Safe and friendly, Millmerran has brilliant skies, broad horizons and is known as the 'gateway to the outback'.

Millmerran is a vibrant town centre situated on Queensland's Darling Downs. On the Gore Highway, about 82 kilometres South West of Toowoomba and 213km West of Brisbane, Millmerran is well-serviced with civic facilities and a thriving business community. For a local history lesson, take in the panoramic views from Commodore Peak Lookout where a series of murals depict the region's history and how the town developed. Take a walk, ride or drive around the town to explore Millmerran's pioneering history depicted through a series of life size murals. Relax and unwind on the banks of Back Creek, pack a picnic, enjoy the birdlife or throw a fishing line if you have time.
