About the paper

Introduction

In a region that was defined by the Gympie Gold Rush, Gympie has become the cultural and historical centre for this area of Queensland and while known for its gold mines it now has a diverse industry base that includes agriculture and tourism – which is likely to play a major role in the future development of the region.

The Gympie Times stands by its traditional community focus but also continually strives to evolve and reflect the prospering city it serves. Providing residents and visitors with in-depth coverage of news from the country and around the world, The Gympie Times also delivers daily a high level of local views, people, events and entertainment.

The newspaper features editorial on motoring and business, a full colour property guide as well as the Great Weekend – Saturday’s complete lifestyle, dining and entertainment read.
