Nestled at the foot of Mt Cooroora, Pomona is a relaxed country town with some pleasant easy walking tracks around the delightful parks. Pomona was first settled in the late 1880's and the railway that arrived in 1891 started the expansion of the agricultural industries. Originally known as Pinbarren siding, the name was changed in 1906 to Pomona, named after the Roman goddess of fruit and orchards. In 1909 Pomona was the administrative centre for the Noosa shire. The town has prospered and declined along with the changing agricultural industry.

Pomona is about halfway between Brisbane and Hervey Bay, just off the Bruce Highway approximately 2 hours North of Brisbane and only 20 minutes from Noosa and 30 minutes from the World Heritage listed Fraser Island.
