Not long after gaining independence in 1859 Queensland was broke and so the Governor offered a reward to anyone that could find gold within 90km from Brisbane. In 1867 James Nash discovered gold in the place that was to become Gympie.

The revenues the government received not only saved the finances of Queensland but allowed the state to prosper. For his trouble Mr Nash received a 1,000pound reward which was less than what was promised, but still not bad in a time when the average wage was about 1 pound a week. And that is why Gympie is referred to as “the town that saved Queensland”.
