South Burnett Tours
Wine country, the Bunya Mountains, heritage, food, stargazing, fishing and living culture — guided from Brisbane by the family that’s toured Queensland since 1974.
South Burnett Tours from Brisbane
The South Burnett is a region built for touring — but its pleasures are scattered across wine ridges, an ancient mountain range, heritage towns and two big lakes, and cellar doors don’t mix with designated-driver duty. That’s where we come in. Cooee Tours has run Queensland trips since 1974, and our South Burnett tours put a local at the wheel so you can taste, wander and take it in.
Below is the full range — day tours and multi-day trips, plus fully private and bespoke options designed around your group. Every tour is enquiry-based: tell us your dates and interests and we’ll tailor the day and confirm pricing. We build each trip around the region’s genuine experiences and local suppliers, so you get the real South Burnett — and the community benefits too.

South Burnett Tours FAQs
Does Cooee Tours run South Burnett tours?
Yes — we run private and bespoke South Burnett tours from Brisbane now, with scheduled small-group departures rolling out. Wine, the Bunya Mountains, heritage, food, stargazing, fishing and cultural experiences can all be built into a day tour or a multi-day trip. Enquire for dates and pricing.
What is the most popular South Burnett tour?
The South Burnett wine tour — a day around the Moffatdale and Murgon cellar doors with a vineyard lunch — is the classic. The Bunya Mountains day tour is the nature-lover’s pick, and the 3-day weekend combines both.
Can you build a custom South Burnett tour?
Absolutely — private tours are our specialty. Tell us your dates, group size and interests (wine, food, fishing, culture, stargazing) and we’ll design the day around them, with a local driver-guide and all the bookings handled.
Do your tours pick up from Brisbane?
Yes — most South Burnett tours depart Brisbane, and we can also collect from the Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba or arrange for guests already staying in the region. Confirm your pick-up when you enquire.
Do you use local South Burnett suppliers?
Wherever it makes the experience better, yes — we work with the region’s cellar doors, South Burnett Distillers, the Kingaroy Observatory, the Ration Shed Museum at Cherbourg and local guides, so your day supports the community and shows you the real region.
