Murgon and Murgon Shire
Murgon, a town, is 70 km west of Gympie and 170 km north-west of Brisbane. The town is situated on part of the former Barambah pastoral station (c1843), and it is thought that the name was derived from an Aboriginal expression describing the lilies on a pond, or the pond itself, which was connected to Barambah Creek. The pond no longer exists.
