Discover Landsborough

Landsborough offers several different points of interest for planning a trip: a museum in a heritage-listed building, art installations in the town centre, events and walking trails. If you’re looking for a hotel in Landsborough, consider whether culture and local history or outdoor activities better suit your plans. The places and topics below range from a historic building to a waterside trail, helping you get a sense of what to expect at your destination.

Museum and cultural history

The Landsborough Museum is housed in the heritage-listed Landsborough Shire Council Chambers, built in 1924. Its displays include a Kabi-Kabi canoe made by Traditional Custodians. The building and the canoe offer two distinct points of interest: the building’s historical significance is shaped by its heritage listing and year of construction, while the canoe’s creation by Traditional Custodians is central to its story. In this way, the museum brings together a specific historic building and an object featured in its displays. If you want to factor culture and local history into your choice of destination, both provide a clear starting point.

Art, Heritage Walk and events

Landsborough’s town centre features art installations by local artists, inspired by the region’s history. The Landsborough Heritage Walk takes you through the town centre, and you can also explore Landsborough’s history online. These offer different ways to explore the area: art in the town centre, a walk through the centre and an online exploration of local history.

The Landsborough Museum’s events include an annual street festival. Talks and activities are also part of its ongoing program. If an event is a deciding factor for your trip, check in advance whether a specific date falls within your travel period.

Walking trails and dog park

Pioneer Park has a separate, fenced dog park on Caloundra Road, about 350 metres away. There are separate areas for small and large dogs. If you plan to visit the dog park, check the current arrangements beforehand, as park facilities may change.

The Ewen Maddock Dam Boardwalk is a short walking trail along the reservoir’s northern shore. Its starting point is about three kilometres from Landsborough. The trail is suitable for walkers of all ages and fitness levels. The dog park and the boardwalk offer different activities: one has separate areas for dogs, while the other centres on a short waterside walk. As trail conditions and information may change, check the latest details before setting out. The distance of around three kilometres is from Landsborough to the starting point, not the length of the trail.
