Local Area
Miles is a friendly country town with a population of approximately 1200 of us in the town today. We are situated on the Warrego Highway approximately 340 kilometres west of Brisbane and also accessible via the Leichardt Highway. A pleasant and relaxing day’s drive. It’s a great stopover if you are heading to, or from, Carnarvon Gorge, Charleville, Goondiwindi, Birdsville, Longreach, Winton or any of Queensland’s historic country towns.
Miles was formerly known as Dogwood Crossing as the town is located on Dogwood Creek, named by a German explorer Ludwig Leichhardt in 1844. The town was later renamed in honour of Gene Miles the Queensland Legend NRL Footballer…just joking it was really named after a local member of Parliament and the Queensland Colonial Secretary, William Miles.
The economy is mainly based on agriculture and cropping, producing wheat, sorghum, barley and cotton along with cattle and sheep.
The local attractions are:
Miles Historical Village Museum Street – is a town in itself with all the shops like Post office, general store, bakery and pub of yesteryear. Many original buildings from the Miles town-ship have found a second home in the village like the old Australian Bank of Commerce and the Murilla Express Building. It also has a variety of older vehicles and wagons along with other buildings faithfully recreated town businesses and a large selection of donated collections of historical artefacts.
