Whether it’s history, adventure or romance, each town has its own story to tell and a certain charm and a character of its own. Look closely to uncover stories hidden all over the region; on the walls of art galleries; in the footprints along the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail; or over the counter at the local pub. Adventure awaits in Somerset.
