Kingaroy Peanut Silo works plant buildings. Queensland Australia

            The heritage listed Peanut Silos are a standout landmark in the town of Kingaroy. They hold between 4,000 and 5,000 tons of peanuts.

They were designed by Thomas Robinson & Son and Macdonald Wagner Consulting Engineers and built in 1938 by Kell & Rigby.

They were added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 8 October 2010.

In Australia, peanuts are grown in Queensland, the Northern Territory and northern New South Wales. In the past, trial peanut crops have also been planted in South Australia and Western Australia.

Most peanuts in Australia are grown in Queensland. Major growing areas occur on the Atherton Tableland near Cairns, Emerald in Central Queensland, Bundaberg and Childers, and in the South and Central Burnett regions west of Brisbane.

Kingaroy, the home of the Peanut Company of Australia, is the biggest town in the South Burnett and is known as the “Peanut Capital of Australia”. The first peanuts grown commercially in Australia were planted nearby and peanut processing remains a cornerstone of the local economy.
