Goomeri is a rural town located in the Gympie local government area and is 180 kilometres north-west of Brisbane. It has a small, friendly population of 500 residents. The town is surrounded by beef cattle and dairy grazing country intersected by small ranges and eucalyptus scrub. Rural stations and homesteads were established with European settlement around 1846. Goomeri is said to retain a certain ‘old world charm’, this is reflected in the preservation of its many historic buildings constructed during its agricultural heyday (1930s - 1960s). The art deco inspired Memorial Clock was built in 1939 and is considered one of the towns favourite landmarks. Goomeri boasts a variety of local gourmet food producers including specialty cheeses, olives, and award winning pies. The township lies within easy reach of the South Burnett wine district with numerous vineyards and cellar doors in close proximity.
