About this market
Boonah Country Markets trades twice a month at Springleigh Park on Hoya Road, on the second and fourth Saturday from 7am to noon. It's one of the regular fixtures of the Scenic Rim's country market circuit, drawing stallholders selling fresh produce, plants, bric-a-brac, vintage wares and handcrafted gifts to a park in the middle of the Fassifern Valley.
A twice-monthly stop in the Fassifern Valley
Entry is free, with gold coin donations welcomed on the gate, and street parking is available around the park for visitors driving in. The market mixes the usual country-market staples, local produce, preserves and baked goods, with a broader secondhand and craft table, so the stalls on any given Saturday can range from seasonal vegetables to plants, jewellery, clothing and homewares. Boonah itself sits in a farming district ringed by the McPherson and Main Ranges, and the town's Saturday markets are one of the more consistent reasons locals and day-trippers from Brisbane build a stop into their weekend.

Getting to Springleigh Park
Boonah is about 86 kilometres south-west of Brisbane, making the market a reasonable half-day trip rather than a quick errand for most visitors. Springleigh Park itself sits in the town centre, an easy walk from Boonah's main street, so a market visit pairs naturally with a look around the rest of town.
Boonah was originally called Blumbergville after a store run by the Blumberg brothers, before being renamed Boonah, from an Aboriginal word for the bloodwood or brigalow tree, once the Ipswich railway line reached the town in 1887.
As with any small-town market, stall numbers and exact offerings shift from one Saturday to the next depending on what local growers and makers bring in, so it's worth checking the market's own social pages for anything specific before making the trip out.
