Sunflower field day trip in Southern Queensland

Sunflowers bloom for approximately three to four weeks only. What this means is that you need to make sure to get your timing right. Luckily, the sunflower fields are usually grown in stages, so even if some fields are no longer blooming, others still might be. In saying that, when weather comes into play, it really comes down to luck and good timing. The best chance of seeing these beautiful flowers is between January to March though they could be blooming anywhere between October to March.

To avoid disappointment, give Southern Queensland Country visitor information centre a call to double check if the sunflowers are blooming.

Respect the farmers and their hard work by not walking through the fields to take a photo without asking permission first. It is best to enjoy the sunflowers from a distance as this will also protect you from any snakes that may be lurking in and around the crops. Look for a safe place to park and make sure to look in both directions before crossing the road. Remember to practice safety measures each time you go on a road trip.
