I've been living in Gayndah for just over 2 years & I don't think I'll ever live anywhere else. Coming from the city it's so refreshing to live in a place where peak hour doesn't exist & driving 2 minutes out of town your are either surrounded by orchards or scenic grazing land. There are plenty of shops, with 2 butchers, 2 bakers, 2 primary schools, a high school, TAFE, hospital & retirement village. There are also a variety of clothing & other stores as well as industries including agriculture, orchards (which bring fruit-pickers annually), timber & some mining. The Burnett River runs through the centre of town and we also have the oldest race course in QLD (with 2 meetings a year), as well as our bi-annual Orange Festival which draws people from all over the place. What suprised me when I first moved here is the number of younger people here, the night life seems to be good & the entire town seems to welcome new people exceptionally. We are only 1.5 hours to Hervey Bay & Bundy & there's a great little waterskiing spot close by - Mingo Crossing, where you can water ski, have a picnic or BBQ on a weekend. A simply great place to live - or visit!
