Kilcoy War Memorial is described as a cross between the Himalayan Yeti and America's Big Foot, the giant, hairy Yowie has reputedly been seen by timber-cutters, school children and farmers. You can see a huge statue of the beastie - including rather oversized genitalia - in Yowie Park overlooking Fred Greensill lake, with its weeping willows and waterbirds. Driving into Kilcoy Kilcoy itself is a pleasant rural town bounded by mountain ranges, recreational lakes and rolling farmlands, situated on the D'Auguilar Highway. The Kilcoy Craft Cottage in Hope Street can supply some local information plus handmade crafts. Drop into the Kilcoy Race Club and see if you're in time for one of 11 race meets held annually. For those who want to explore, heading north of town is the way to go. Near the timber-cutting town of Jimna, there is a recreational 4WD driving and learning centre and a huge fire tower overlooking state forest. Vineyards and a winery exist at Mt Archer in the western part of the Kilcoy Shire if you want to sample a local drop. On the eating front, Kilcoy steaks are said to be mouth-watering and the local bakehouse serves up a heap of freshly baked treats. Coordinate your visit to Lake Somerset Holiday Park with one of Kilcoy’s famous events for a truly memorable visit. As a ‘Most Friendly Town’ award winner, Kilcoy assures you of a warm welcome and great hospitality.
