Unique Gympie experiences
Don’t miss a ride on the iconic Mary Valley Rattler, which departs from the Historic Gympie Station and weaves its way through picturesque countryside towards Amamoor. History buffs will also love strolling along the heritage trail, which offers up fascinating insights into the town’s architecture and older buildings, as well as having a go at gold panning in the fossicking area of Deep Creek. Alternatively, stop by the Woodworks Museum and Interpretive Centre to pick up a locally crafted souvenir.
Kick your heels up in Gympie
Make the most of the great outdoors and grab yourself some tickets to one of Gympie's - and Queensland’s! - most hotly anticipated annual music festivals: the Gympie Music Muster. Held amongst the towering surrounds of the Amamoor Creek State Forest, the Muster is a celebration of Australian and international talent across four fabulous days. With plenty of good music, food stalls, bull-riding and family-friendly fun on the agenda, you’ll want to pitch a tent and stay the night to make sure you don’t miss out on all the Muster has to offer.
Eat your way around Gympie
Looking for somewhere to eat in Gympie? The township has plenty of eateries and pubs to keep the drinks flowing and your hunger at bay. Stop by SoMa SoMa for great coffee, or enjoy lunch at The Brown Jug Cafe. For a classic pub experience, look no further than the Mount Pleasant Hotel, which was voted by locals as having the best pub feed in town. If you're after a vino with a view, head to Dingo Creek Vineyard (pictured) and cheers to Gympie.
