THE classic art deco Grand Hotel at Goomeri in Queensland was re-built in 1943 after the original pub was destroyed in a tragic fire that killed the publican and his wife, a barmaid, and five guests on December 23, 1939. Goomeri Village is located in the wine region of the South Burnett, at the junction of the Wide Bay Highway from the coast and Gympie and the Burnett Highway, between Brisbane and Gladstone. The 1939 fire claimed many lives. Eight years later, the Boonara Hotel, which was located opposite the Grand Hotel, was also totally destroyed by fire in 1947. No one was hurt or killed in that blaze. Unlike the Grand Hotel, the Boonara was never rebuilt. Source: timegents.com/2018/05/29/grand-hotel-goomeri/

Thursday, August 24th 1911 Source: Maryborough Chronicle, Wide Bay and Burnett Advertiser Qld. Thursday 24th August 1911 Page 3 - NOTES BY THE WAY. The "Boonara Hotel," so ably conducted by Mr. J. Murphy, one time of Murgon, is an exceedingly attractive and new two-storey structure and built throughout with the most careful attention to both comfort and strict sanitation. The fine 12ft wide balcony veranda is not the least of its many attractive features, and the yards, stabling and outbuildings attached are each and all indicative of the good and farseeing management by a mastermind. Airiness combined with the most immaculate cleanliness, even to the smallest details, are conspicuous features which tend to more than confirm a first and highly favourable opinion of the bright-looking Boonara Hotel.

‘In Brisbane’s sunshine’ Thousands of Queenslanders greeted the Queen with great enthusiasm and informality. Through speeches and exhibitions, Queensland was portrayed as rich in natural resources and agriculture with great potential for long-term prosperity. At a parliamentary luncheon held in Brisbane on 10 March, the Premier talked of the major rural industries of Queensland including wool, sugar, beef, and dairy, as well as the coalfields of Blair Athol and the Callide Valley. Although the Royal couple were in the State for only nine days they covered a significant distance and the areas they visited displayed the resources and achievements of that region. In Toowoomba, prized livestock of the district was paraded for the Royal couple at a reception at the Athletic Oval. At a Civic Ball held at the Brisbane City Hall on 10 March, flora and fauna of Queensland were brought directly to the Royal pair where a representation of a rainforest, complete with flowers, foliage and waterfall was set up. The simulated gum tree provided a temporary home for nine koalas. Source: www.qhatlas.com.au/content/queen-queensland-1954
