About Clifton
Situated half way between Toowoomba and Warwick on the wide fertile
plains of the Darling Downs, Clifton is a quiet town welcoming visitors
with country hospitality and a relaxed atmosphere.
Once a large wheat growing area, the shire now has a diverse range of
agriculture including cattle, cereal crops, sunflowers, peanut and
honey production and much more.
Just a short drive north of Clifton is Nobby and the well known Rudd's
Pub, which has an extensive display of historic memorabilia and
photographs of the area's pioneering past. The Pub is dedicated to
Steele Rudd, who lived in the area, and found inspiration there for his
stories in 'On Our Selection'. Just a short stroll from the Pub is the
Sister Kenny memorial. Sister Elizabeth Kenny also lived in the area
and was known for her revolutionary treatment for the victims of polio.
