Gympie is an old gold mining town situated along the Bruce Highway on the Fraser Coast. You can find out about the mining industry in Gympie at the Gympie and District Historical and Mining Museum. Other attractions in Gympie include the interesting Woodworks Forestry and Timber Museum. Gympie also holds two great festivals. The Country Music Muster is held in August, while the Gold Rush Festival is held in October. Both of which are great fun. Alongside the Bruce Highway you will pass Rotaract Park, which is a large and attractive park. Within the park you can wander around the lake, relax in the picnic area and enjoy the beautiful gardens. You will also notice the large statue, called Husman Place. The statue is in memory of the gold miners who worked in Gympie during the gold rush. From Gympie you can turn off towards the coast and the pretty Rainbow Beach, from where you can visit popular Fraser Island or continue south along the beach to Noosa. You can get information and camping permits about both the Cooloola National Park, and Fraser Island from Gympie. There is also a selection of accommodation, including hostels. Just south of Gympie (along the Bruce Highway) you will come across Nambour, where you will find the well known Big Pineapple. |
