Subscriber only Chinchilla has received an Australian first tourist initiative that is guaranteed to entice more tourists into the Western Downs. The Chinchilla Museum opened Australia s first Forestry Fire Tower Interpretive Centre, and welcomed more than 300 visitors in the last month. Immaculately restored original Coondarra and Turkey Mountain fire tower cabins are a highlight of the display, after they were by the state government in 2017. Museum volunteers and organisations such as Origin Energy have pitched in to help fund and restore the towers, and other equipment related to the forestry industry. Chinchilla Historical Society president Cath Brandon said it was wonderful to such a welcoming influx of visitors into town since its opening.
