The perfect spot to break any journey, the township of Gin Gin is known by many as 'halfway to everywhere' because of its central location for travellers heading north, south, east or west. With a laid-back country atmosphere, shaded picnic areas and garden lined streets you will feel more than welcome in Gin Gin - voted friendliest town in Queensland 2003. A reminder of Queenslands pioneering past can be found in the hisitoric buildings in town and through the collections at the Gin Gin Museum. Explore the surrounding countryside where vineyards and olive groves are emerging as new horticultural industries. Enjoy panoramic drives on unsealed roads through surrounding national parks or try some fishing, camping and watersports at Monduran Lake. Delve into history and acquaint yourself with the tales of James McPherson - the Wild Scotsman - and Queenslands only fair dinkum bushranger. Locals hold a festival each year that includes a re-enactment of his capture. It is said that the cave in which McPherson avoided capture can still be found, less than a hundred metres from the main road - if you know where to look that is.
