Profile Of Dayboro
Dayboro is a village in the Moreton Bay Region, approximately 46 km north- northwest of Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland, Australia. It has a population of approximately 900.
The D’Aguilar Range and the mountain township of Mount Mee lie to the north of Dayboro. Other nearby towns include Petrie and Samford. The land surrounding the town supports avocado and pineapple plantations as well as dairy cattle. The scenic countryside is a spectacular destination for motoring enthusiasts, with hilly backroads through rolling paddocks and forest.
If you have a 4×4 and a relevant permit, the Mt Mee State Forestry is also worth a look, with entrances from the foothills at the end of Mt Pleasant Road or from Mt Mee Road.
The Dayboro Rodeo and Dayboro Show usually occur between May and July every year, as well as Dayboro Day, celebrating the town’s unique rural heritage so close to the Brisbane CBD.
From the 1950s to present day, Dayboro has evolved into a large rural hamlet, with a number of large housing estates built since the late 1980s on the outskirts of the town.
The town centre has also seen a lot of new development and now a supermarket, several cafes and boutique stores.
