Jennings
Where rail heritage meets granite country adventure.
Straddling the state border, Jennings is a charming village steeped in railway history and surrounded by breathtaking national park landscapes.
Named after the first Catholic Premier of NSW, Sir Patrick Jennings, the quiet village of Jennings sits on the New South Wales–Queensland border. Rich in history and surrounded by natural beauty, Jennings was once a vital rail interchange, sharing its heritage with twin town Wallangarra, where the striking Victorian-era railway station still stands — now a heritage museum and café.
Just minutes from Girraween National Park and Mount Norman hiking, Jennings offers easy access to granite outcrops, scenic walks, and 4WD trails.
