Goomboorian, Queensland

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 Damside Experience

Our signature Highland cattle experience.

Forty-five minutes with Axel and Dusty — an unhurried experience getting to know our Highland boys. You'll brush them, learn their unique personalities and take more photos than you ever expected.

Meet Our Boys

Axel and Dusty aren't an attraction.

They're who you're actually here to meet.

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.

Getting Here

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.

Our Story

"We weren't chasing farming as a business. We were chasing a different way of living."

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.
