Theodore - Fast Facts

Theodore (Including Isla Gorge National Park)
Unusual country town with considerable charm.
Theodore must be one of the most luxuriant looking towns beyond the Great Divide. Located 140 m above sea level and 559 km from Brisbane (via the Warrego and Leichhardt Highways) it almost has the appearance of a seaside resort.

Entering the town, the first thing the visitor notices are the palm trees and tropical bushes growing in the broad median strip which runs down The Boulevarde and culminates in a large and gracious roundabout which is edged by a series of attractive, wooden buildings including the local police station. This is no ordinary Queensland country town.

It is more than another service centre. It is a town of considerable elegance and originality. But then any town which started its life as Castle Creek and ended up, by its own choice, being named after one of Australia's most controversial politicians, E. G. 'Red Ted' Theodore (Premier of Queensland 1919-25 and Treasurer and Deputy Prime Minister 1929-30), should be different from other places.
