About Goovigen
Goovigen is a rural town and locality in the Shire of Banana in Central Queensland, about 660 km north-west of Brisbane, on the Burnett Highway. The town was established as a supply depot for the railways and named by the Queensland Railways Department in 1920; Goovigen is a local Aboriginal word for the box tree, a species of eucalyptus.
