Exploring Luscombe's Landscape

Luscombe is next to the Albert River on its eastern side. You'll find some big quarries (places where rocks are dug up) in the northern and eastern parts of the area. A main road called Beaudesert–Beenleigh Road also passes through the south-west part of Luscombe.

A Look Back at Luscombe's Past

Years ago, Luscombe was home to the Darlington Park Raceway. This was a 1.3-kilometer long track where people raced go-karts! It even appeared on a TV show called The Mole. However, the raceway closed down on February 3, 2007. This happened because people living nearby complained about too much noise. Today, an industrial estate (a place with many businesses) stands where the raceway used to be.
