Gold Coast to Bundaberg road trip: Gympie and Maryborough

Continuing north, Brisbane to Bundaberg road trip options include the Noosa Botanic Gardens in Cooroy and the Gympie Gold Mining and Historical Museum in Gympie.

Gympie is also where you can catch the Mary Valley Rattler tourist train.

The Gympie to Maryborough leg of the journey passes several state forests that are not well set-up for visitors. But you can pay a visit to tropical fruit liqueur-maker Lychee Divine.

The best things to do in Maryborough include discovering the town’s port heritage at the Bond Store Museum, and learning about local creation Mary Poppins inside the Story Bank.
