Gin Gin is a small town located on the Bruce Highway, approximately 50km west of Bundaberg. While the town is the centre of the surrounding rich sugar cane districts, it lies at an important junction on the Bruce Highway with much of the town's business setup to support passing motorists. The town is well looked after, has a lovely divided main street with most of the centre-median designated as parkland. In the area are Lake Monduran (20km north), popular for its nearby picnic grounds and Goodnight Scrub National Park (25km south).
