Fernvale is well known for it colourful Sunday markets, with people travelling from as far afield as Brisbane and Ipswich to enjoy the relaxed ambience and to snap up a bargain. The town also has a number of unique art and craft shops to tempt those looking for something a little different.
Located on the banks of the Brisbane River, the tiny hamlet is a popular spot for fishing and camping and a welcome rest stop for people travelling to Esk and nearby Wivenhoe Dam.
