Been here for 5 days and leaving tomorrow for Agnes Water/1770. We were surprised arriving at Gin Gin how popular the Showgrounds are; about 25-30 vans were there when we arrived and pretty consistent numbers the whole time. They also cater for travelling horses and we had a racehorse transporter there overnight one night and a private horse float arrived today on our last night.
The town of Gin Gin sits right on the Bruce highway and will be some years before it is bypassed so is reasonably thriving with a large IGA, an Historic Hotel and the usual array of small shops.
