Gayndah, Administrative center in North Burnett Region, Queensland, Australia

The town extends over 68 square kilometers along the Burnett River, surrounded by agricultural land and citrus orchards in southeastern Queensland.

Established in 1849 after exploration by Thomas Archer and James Charles Burnett, Gayndah became the first official town in Queensland.

The name originates from the Wakka Wakka Aboriginal language, reflecting the deep connection between the land and its traditional custodians.

The Burnett Highway passes through Gayndah, connecting the town to Brisbane, located 249 kilometers to the southeast.

A flying fox cash transport system remains operational at Mellors Drapery, representing one of the last such mechanisms in Australia.
