A pretty little ’ten house town’, Dagun village is the centre of a very diverse agricultural industry.
On driving through the hills of rich red soil you’ll see pineapples, bananas, mangoes, lychees, stonefruit, avocados, citrus, macadamias, pecans, flowers and a salad-bowl of brightly-coloured vegetables, whilst the river-flats mainly support dairy and beef enterprises, including Cooloola Milk, an independent dairy producing its own milk and cheeses from a pure herd of beautiful Jersey cows.
Dagun village itself has a well-resourced primary school set in shady grounds, and a growers market organised by the Dagun Community. The market operates every Saturday coinciding with the arrival of the Valley Rattler Steam Train. Mary Valley Timbers is here also. Using only hardwood, this old-style mill provides structural and furniture timbers and sleepers for use on local and interstae railway lines and for landscaping.

Dagun’s exciting venture is the development of the Dagun Station Precinct. The main attraction of this community enterprise, apart from stunning gardens of colourful flowers, is the Goods Shed Wine Cellar, where you can sample and purchase Stuart Range Estates wines and locally produced cheeses, as well as flavoured nuts and exotic cooking oils, and a range of local crafts.
