Glide down Caledonian Hill Road into the heart of Gympie. Notice on your right the Town Hall, which stands on the site of the discovery of gold by James Nash in 1867. Eyes back on the road, turn left at the roundabout, then immediately right into Young St. Travel to the end of Young Street and at the roundabout turn right onto River Road. On the right is Memorial Park. Memorial Park is peaceful oasis in the city hub and explodes with colour in spring when the Jacaranda and Silky Oaks are in full bloom in the Spring and Summer months. Park the car and walk through the park up mosaic Memorial Lane to Mary Street. This is the ‘town centre’ where you will find a number of cafes and shops to browse. Back in the car turn right onto Monkland Street, go straight through the first roundabout and at the traffic lights turn left and head away from the town centre up Mary Street. Wave goodbye to the city hub as you pass straight through the traffic lights atop Mary Street onto Duke Street.
