Treading lightly on the environment, three generations of the Owen family have built Coolmunda Olives into an organic farm with 5000 hand-picked trees. Colin Owen and his daughter Katie run the 40-hectare property. You’ll also see Dorper sheep roaming through the groves on weed control duty. The grove enjoys scorching summers and frosty winters making it a prime olive-growing country with Spanish Arbequinas and Manzanillos, Greek Kalamatas and Volos, Cypriate Koronieki and North African Barouni varieties. Buy their olives online or at the farm. Enjoy a guided tour or settle in with an olive platter in the arboretum after exploring the bamboo labyrinth. Inglewood is a comfortable 1hr 45min drive southwest from Toowoomba via Millmerran or a three-hour drive from Brisbane. Continue through Yelarbon to Goondiwindi and find plenty of places to stay.
Guru Tip
Coolmunda hand-pick the best olives, ferment them in natural brine without preservatives, then bottle and label them by hand in their solar-powered plant.
