The Steamer Range is a series of spectacular rock formations branching off the Main Range National Park in Queensland (Australia). They lie at the head of the Emu Creek, west of Warwick in the Main Range. Viewed from most angles with a little imagination the range looks like a steam boat.
The Mast formation was climbed on August 24, 1950 by Bob Waring and Jon Stephenson. The Funnel formation was climbed on December 1, 1950 by Bob Waring and Kemp Fowler[citation needed]. The local sawmill had a 200 pound prize for the first person to do this. However neither Bob nor Kemp received any money for their accomplishments.
