Inglewood

Inglewood (founded 1862) is a small, friendly, country town nestled on the banks of the Macintyre Brook.

The town provides a great mix of high quality, old-fashioned service, modern facilities and a diverse range of country activities. While the town is small enough to have that small town feeling, it is large enough to offer a range of modern facilities and services.

Pride in the town is reflected in the cleanliness and attractiveness of the town itself. Its iconic tree palms line the main street while the high involvement in community activities is the foundation of Inglewood’s friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The new slogan for the town, ‘Catch the Country Spirit’ truly captures the essence of this friendly town and region.

Agriculturally, the region mostly consists of small to medium sized family-owned properties and some larger, corporate holdings for livestock (e.g. beef cattle, sheep, chickens), mixed-cropping (e.g. lucerne, summer and winter cereals) and permanent plantings (e.g. grapes, olives, fruit trees and lavender).

Points of interest There are plenty of things to do and see in and around Inglewood including; strolling in the town’s restful park; fishing, boating, water-skiing and sailing on beautiful Lake Coolmunda; visiting and tasting at the olive groves; taking in the perfume at the awardwinning lavender farm and shop; taking a tour of the fascinating history museum; exploring the Tobacco Trail, the Silverspur Trail and the Dumaresq River Road; and birdwatching for the numerous species present including colourful grass parrots, wrens, raptors and the rare regent honey eater. Inglewood is also home to the largest variety of tree species in Australia including the unique Inglewood wattle. The quiet streams also contain platypus. In late winter and early spring, the display of wildflowers is breathtaking. Don’t miss out on catching the ‘country spirit’ in Inglewood.
