Gin Gin, Administrative division in Bundaberg Region, Australia.

Located 51 kilometers west of Bundaberg on the Bruce Highway, Gin Gin features sugar cane plantations and cattle farms across its rural landscape.

The area was established as a pastoral run in 1848 by Gregory Blaxland Junior and William Forster before being purchased by the Brown brothers in 1851.

The name Gin Gin originates from the Gureng Gureng Aboriginal language, possibly derived from words meaning scrub or red soil.

The town serves as a strategic stop between Brisbane and Rockhampton, providing essential services and accommodations for travelers along the Bruce Highway.

The Boolboonda Tunnel, constructed without supporting infrastructure, stands as the longest tunnel of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere.
