Boonah Locality and History of Lions

The larger Boonah shire covers an area of 1904 square kilometres and has an estimated total population of 8,535 people. Surrounded by hills, Boonah was established in 1882 as a service centre for the surrounding farms. The area produces vegetables for the nearby Brisbane Markets (notably carrots and potatoes), cereal crops, beef, pork and timber. Boonah has emerged as one of South-East Queensland’s premier tourism destinations offering plenty for the traveller and all within an hour and a half’s drive from Brisbane or the Gold Coast. Set amongst world heritage listed mountains and national parks, Boonah shire is known as the “Heart of the Scenic Rim”. The superb scenery of rugged mountains and peaceful lakes allow the pleasures of scenic drives, horse riding, bushwalking, mountaineering, sky diving, gliding and water sports. The shire boasts numerous picnic spots, country style accommodation, camping areas and seven national parks that provide unsurpassed panoramas of Mount French, (Mt. French national park is home to Frog Buttress, a natural basalt formation popular with rock climbers) Mount Edwards, The Head, Mount Greville, Mount Maroon and Cunninghams and Spicers gap. Lovers of the great outdoors can escape the stress of the city in the idyllic setting of lake Moogerah and lake maroon, ideal for camping and fast becoming Queensland’s most popular place for sailing, fishing, water skiing, parasailing and paddle boating. The township of Boonah offers a range of shops and services along with that special brand of country hospitality that comes from taking time to enjoy life.

IN APPRECIATION

In recognition of the contribution of the Lions Clubs of Turkey, especially Lion Dr. Enzar Tore, in providing free web page hosting for Lions Clubs everywhere, the Lions Club of BOONAH Inc.  proudly displays the flag of Turkey on our site.
Click on the flag to go to the web site of Lion Dr. Enzar's home club - the Lions Club of Canakkale.

As an extension to the Turkish Lions' contribution, the Brisbane Ekibin Lions Club of MD 201 Q1 (Australia) offer assistance to Lions Clubs who want to take advantage of the Turkish Lions offer, but are not familiar with web publishing. They've already set up many sites for Lions Clubs world-wide, using Lionwap.
If your club wants to be on the internet, and would like some help, leave a message in the Ekibin Guest Book by clicking on the image above.  This is a FREE SERVICE, so you don't spend a cent for their work. As Lionwap is also FREE, this means you get a web site that you NEVER have to pay for. - Is that a deal or what?
All your Club has to do it have some-one update and maintain your page, which needs not take more than a few minutes each month. The Ekibin Lions will even give you some tips on that!
