Have you checked out the Gympie Memories Blog lately? Not only does it has some fascinating stories about Gympies past but it also has a map which records the stories behind the names of Gympies streets. Mr George Thomas was one of Gympie’s best known citizens, and his love for Local History inspired him to gather and record these stories. Mr Thomas published the information in his book How Gympie Streets were named in 1964. Inspired to make this information available to a wider range of people, Gympie Regional Libraries have used Google Fusion Tables to map the information contained within the book. This in turn created a cartographic view of Gympie. This map and other stories can be viewed at the Gympie Memories Blog. Have a story you would like to add to the blog? No problem you can send us the story online or drop it off to the Gympie Library Branch.
