The small cattle farming town of Kenilworth is the perfect location for an epic gravel adventure

Kenilworth is situated in the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia, about 50 km from the coast or 90 minutes drive from the Brisbane Airport.

The Aboriginal name Hinka Booma is all but a memory with the town renamed ‘Kenilworth’ after the title of a book that was being read at the time by the wife of the first cattle farmer in the area, Richard Smith.

The major industry in the town has remained cattle farming, although it does boast the popular Kenilworth Cheese Factory and the famous Kenilworth Bakery.

Race HQ is the Kenilworth Showgrounds, Kenilworth, Queensland Australia 4574:
