Wave goodbye to the city hub as you pass straight through the traffic lights atop Mary Street onto Duke Street which shortly merges into Corella Drive. In a few minutes you pass from business fronts, to suburbs and then out to rural estates and eventually bush land. As Duke Street merges with Corella Drive note the cemetery on your right. Spend some time exploring history and visit some of the pioneer headstones dating back to 1869. Turning left off Corella Drive onto Fraser Drive you will soon come to the last stop on the Gympie City Tourist Drive, the Gympie Woodworks Museum and Interpretive Centre. Showcasing Gympie’s past as a timber and grazing town, the museum has live demonstrations, science-based education and stateof-the-art interpretation. You will see fascinating relics of forest history, lovingly restored and working in live demonstrations. The museum is home to a steam driven sawmill and details about European settlement in the region and next to the Bruce Highway. The Gympie City Tourist Drive provides a great insight into the heritage of Gympie and the region and a welcome break from the Bruce Highway.
