Historic Childers
- The National Trust Town

Small historic cane growing town on the Bruce Highway south of Bundaberg. Famed for its historic buildings and Leopard Tree's (Caesalpinea ferrea) that line the main street this pleasant town has plenty for the visitor to do and see.

You will notice that one side of the main street has a distinct architectural style to the other. This is because in 1902 one side was completely burnt down in a fire. Most of the towns important buildings now reside on the older side of the street.

Cattle, sugar, and tourism are now the biggest industries in the area.
