Gympie

The Mary River defines the setting of Gympie — the Queensland town grew on its river valley and remains closely connected to the agricultural country of the Mary Valley. Gold discovered here by James Nash in 1867 triggered one of Queensland’s major gold rushes, giving Gympie a formative role in the colony’s 19th-century development. The town’s mining past is explored at the Gympie Gold Mining and Historical Museum, while central Mary Street preserves a civic and commercial heart shaped during the boom era. Today Gympie is also a practical base for travelling between the Sunshine Coast hinterland and inland Queensland.
