It lies 30.4 km south-east of Maryborough, QLD (from Maryborough, QLD: bearing 134°T), and is situated 27.0 km south-east of Granville. The terrain here is a gentle acquaintance with the sea, a low-lying embrace of sandy shores and mangrove-lined inlets that whisper secrets to the passing tides. The air, thick with the scent of salt and the subtle perfume of coastal flora, carries a stillness that settles deep, broken only by the cries of seabirds and the distant murmur of boats. Here, the sunlight, especially in the late afternoon, seems to pour like honey over the landscape, gilding the mangrove roots and painting the water in hues of rose and gold, a quiet spectacle that marks the closing of the day.
The history of Poona is entwined with the bounty of its waters and the fertile, albeit sandy, soil that supports a quiet agricultural life. For generations, the sea has been both larder and highway, providing sustenance and a connection to neighbouring communities. While not a bustling hub, Poona’s local economy has long revolved around the sea's offerings – fishing, both commercial and recreational, forms a significant part of its identity, with the sheltered waters of the strait proving a haven for a variety of marine life. Beyond the immediate coastal strip, small-scale farming ventures, often focusing on hardy crops suited to the coastal sand, contribute to the area’s economic fabric, creating a patchwork of green against the earthy tones of the land. Poona’s distinctiveness lies in this understated resilience, a place that lives and breathes with the rhythm of the tides and the patient turning of the seasons, a quiet testament to the enduring allure of the Queensland coast.
