Gympie Goldrush Festival
Gympie Goldrush Festival is an annual celebration of James Nash’s discovery of gold in Gympie in 1867, and the subsequent establishment of Gympie City, “the town that saved Queensland”. The eleven days festival is held in early October and celebrates the area’s fascinating heritage whilst showcasing the Cooloola region of today, through a diverse and colourful array of activities and entertainment.
