Capella

Capella is a special place where visitors are invited to relax, unwind and enjoy the stunning natural beauty of the Peak Downs Shire. The Shire includes Capella, established in 1883, and Tieri established in 1982 to service the Oakey Creek Coal Mines. The Peak Downs Shire lies over the Bowen Basin coal deposit and includes nine operating coal mines, exporting millions of tonnes of coal annually. The site of the Shire's first town of Lilyvale and Lilyvale Waterhole lies between the Crinum and Gregory coal mines. The rich fertile soils of the Peak Downs Shire and a 590mm rainfall produces millions of tonnes of sorghum, sunflower, wheat, legumes and beef annually. Sunflowers bloom in March and April; sorghum and sunflower are harvested in May, June and July, wheat in September and October and chick peas in October.
