    Now that is interesting. I used to pass through Gympie from either direction and have "known" it for something like 50 years. Someone once asked me what it was like and I swear I said the following: "Well, it's kind of a strange place. It has this air about it of "who am I, why am I here...?" It's now 20 years ago that I last saw it, but from what you are saying, it seems that it hasn't changed much.

    The rattler is actually a lot better now that the line is half as long. By the third hour of the trip you've had enough which is good because that's when the train pulls back into Gimpy station. It's a nice day out of wine/beer/cheese + lunch. Well unless you buy a cheap seat, then it's just 3 hours of coal smoak and scenery.

    It’s probably been said before. But if they moved all the commerce up to the old railway station site, which is currently home to about 100,000 feral rabbits, maybe the town planners could start making some sense of the areas that flood on a regular basis. And no matter what anybody says. As the population of south-east Queensland increases, the population of Gympie is going to increase accordingly. I guess the other way to do it is to build a massive block of townhouses on the old railway station site and feed everybody rabbits for dinner for six months. But a solution must be found.
