Kingaroy, Regional administrative center in South Burnett, Australia
The town stands at an elevation of 431 meters above sea level, featuring prominent peanut processing plants and storage silos along Haly Street.
The settlement began in the late 19th century when the Markwell brothers established their presence in 1878, followed by railway construction in 1904.
The name derives from the Wakka Wakka Aboriginal language meaning 'red ant', which later influenced the local rugby league team's nickname.
The South Burnett Visitor Information Centre at 128 Haly Street provides guidance about regional attractions, accommodations, and transportation options.
The region's red soil conditions support substantial peanut cultivation, making Kingaroy the primary peanut processing location in Australia.
