Warwick

Sitting on the banks of the Condamine River, historic Warwick - known for its roses and rodeo - features some of the state's finest original sandstone buildings.

Known as the 'Rose and Rodeo Capital', Warwick was settled over 150 years ago and can trace its rodeo roots back to a professional buck jumping contest of 1857.
