A quieter kind of Queensland.
An owner-guided Highland cattle experience in the paddocks of Goomboorian — small, unhurried, and genuinely ours.
People kept asking the same question when they visited: why keep this to yourselves? Eventually, we stopped having a good answer. So we opened the gate — just a little, and only by appointment.
The dam our back paddock looks out over. The fresh country air. The particular quiet of rural Queensland.
The view across to the dam gave Damside Highlands its name. We hope you'll take a moment to slow down, take it all in and enjoy it as much as we do.
Every visit looks a little different, but it always feels the same — unhurried, personal, and genuinely yours.
A Short Drive, A Different Pace
Nestled in the peaceful countryside of Goomboorian, Damside Highlands is just 20 minutes east of Gympie, around 25 minutes from Tin Can Bay, 40 minutes from Rainbow Beach and approximately 50 minutes from Noosa on the Sunshine Coast. Close enough for an easy day trip, yet far enough away to feel like you've left the busy world behind — it's a place to slow down, reconnect with nature and spend time with our Highland boys.
Staying nearby? Damside Highlands is a private property and our experience is for day visitors, so we don't currently offer accommodation or camping onsite. If you're travelling from further afield, there are plenty of places to stay in the surrounding Gympie, Tin Can Bay, Rainbow Beach and Noosa areas, making it easy to include a visit to Damside Highlands as part of your time in the region.
We hope you leave with more than just photos. We hope you leave feeling a little slower than when you arrived — more present, more connected to nature, and carrying a little of the peace you've found here at Damside Highlands.
Every visit helps Axel and Dusty grow more confident meeting new people. During this early stage, we're welcoming guests by appointment. If you'd like to experience Damside Highlands, simply get in touch to arrange your visit.
