Car Hire Gympie - Mini guide to Gympie

For a truly .golden. experience, you must visit Gympie, an old gold mining town, on the Fraser Coast. Now a sprawling township, it.s situated 166 kilometers north of Brisbane, but because of its location along the Bruce Highway, among picturesque, rolling hills, it can be difficult to access. A car hire service is highly recommended to reach your destination quickly and easily.

Gympie was actually named by the aborginies for a local stinging tree called gimpi gimpi, though it was briefly known as Nashville after James Nash discovered gold there in 1867. With gold mining as the town.s heritage, there are plenty of historical attractions in town based on this rich history.

The Gympie Gold and Mining Museum is located in a beautiful park and includes fasinating historical homes and mining vignettes. It is truly one of the regions best working museums. A care hire service is the best way to get to the museum and is a feature not to be missed.

The Woodworks Forestry and Timber Museum is also an interesting part of Gympies history, displaying forestry tools used in the early timber industry, including antique tools and bullock wagons. The museum is located beoynd the north end of the city, and its best to use a car hire service to get there. Once you get there, however, you.ll have an educational adventure in a lovely woodland setting.

Beyond the captivating museum experiences, there are many fun and intriguing destinations in or near Gympie. Start with the Gympie library, where you may catch a glimpse at the famous ghost of a miner that is known to sometimes walk among the stacks of books and papers. If you want to venture outside the city, use a car hire service to begin your adventure. Go toward the coast and see the beautiful Rainbow Beach. From there, visit Fraser Island or continue toward Noosa and plan your camping trip to the Cooloola National Park. Before your trip is over, don.t miss the famous .Big Pineapple. an astounding, whimsical bit of architecture in Nambour.

For a shining and memorable adventure, strike gold and explore Gympie and its surrounding areas.
