Tamaree

Tamaree is a rural locality on the North Coast railway seven km north of Gympie. The origin of the name is apparently unrecorded.

There is extensive forest north-east of Tamaree, from where the north branch of Deep Creek flows. There was farming along the creek, and Tamaree was associated with the North Deep Creek locality. Both Tamaree and North Deep Creek had small primary schools, c1920s-60s. In 1924 the post office directory recorded six dairy farmers, three other farmers, three timber getters and the station master. Most of the timber was cut for the Tamaree lime works.
