Gayndah
About two hours inland from Bundaberg
About two hours inland from Bundaberg, Gayndah is about heritage façades, big country skies and a main street that deserves its own postcard. It is Queensland’s oldest town, but it still knows how to put on a show.
Wander through the Gayndah Art Gallery for a hit of local creativity, dive into the Gayndah Museum for relics straight out of the 1800s, and swing by the old railway precinct to spot carriages from the legendary The Sunlander. Climb up to McConnell Lookout for sweeping Burnett River views or hunt down the upside down Ideraway Bridge for a photo that will have everyone doing a double take.
Come for the history, stay for the yarns, and don’t be surprised if a local starts chatting before you’ve even shut the car door.
CITRUS
capital
Gayndah is one of Queensland’s oldest towns and its sunny climate has made it the perfect spot for citrus. The North Burnett is one of Queensland’s most important citrus growing areas, supplying Australia with mandarins, lemons, limes and oranges. Visit the Big Orange and fill up on locally grown produce whenever you can – it doesn’t get fresher than this!
Living
history
Step back in time at the Gayndah Museum, admire the towns rich heritage buildings, and pause to take in the town’s historic clock. For a real sense of the town’s character, a visit to Archer’s Lookout is a must.
