Lifestyle and Liveability

Located in the heart of south-east Queensland, Somerset is a large region of lakes and landscapes, in fact we’ve got 5,382km2 of countryside for you to explore.

We’re home to the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, Australia’s longest recreational rail trail, 161km of high-quality track just waiting for you to cycle, hike or horse-ride. Our lakes are second to none and the perfect spot to drop a line or take a dip. Thrill seekers are covered with a range of outdoor adventures from skydiving to horse-riding.
