The South Burnett Timber Industry Museum located in Wondai turns 20 years old this November!

To celebrate, Discover South Burnett are hosting an Historical Photograph Competition portraying the region’s timber industry. The photo competition will showcase the history and evolution of the timber industry over the past 100 years in the South Burnett.
