Gunna Go Holiday Park

🏕️ Gunna Go Holiday Park, Myrtlevale QLD

🏞️ Description & Location

Just 6 km north of Proserpine on the Bruce Highway, Gunna Go Holiday Park spans 6.5 acres of peaceful grassland edged by Myrtle Creek. It’s a green oasis of birdlife and creekside ambience, framed by sugarcane fields—perfect for unwinding en route to the Whitsundays.

📜 History

Grown from a family dream by Hank and April Verwoerdt and their five children, this park captures the spirit of regional sugarcane and grazing heritage. The land also carries intangible Indigenous connections through its creek and bushland, though specific lore remains respectfully untold.
