Suburb profile
Boonara is a residential smaller community in Gympie with a familiar suburban feel. Out in the wider region, it rewards those who value open country and a pace set by the land, not the clock. Working households and growing families are the backbone of local life, with family life visible on every street.
Weekends tend to revolve around local favourites: a café, a market run, a walk through town. Local identity runs deep. This is the kind of place people stay once they have found it.
Homes offer solid value for the lifestyle on offer.
