About Our Area Cooloola Shire of Queensland, Australia, is home for the Heart of Gold International Film Festival. Our rural town, Gympie, is a beautiful place, close to the stunning Fraser coast with its whale watching, fishing, boating and miles of drivable beaches. Alongside is some of the most enchanting Hinterland in the region, featuring everything from olive groves to wineries. Gympie is the town that saved Queensland when gold was discovered here (and this was one of the influences for the name of the festival) and has a rich history in more ways than one. Out of this richness comes a festival full of films that have a heart of gold. How to Get Here - Map and Directions Check out our fancy-pants map of the area.
