Download coordinates as: Goovigen is a rural town and locality in the Shire of Banana, Queensland, Australia.

[5] The town is towards the south-east of the locality,[6] approximately 660 kilometres (410 mi) north west of the state capital, Brisbane.

The Burnett Highway enters the locality from the north (Dixalea) and exits to the east (Jambin) without coming close to either of the two towns.

Koorngoo was originally a railway station name and is an Aboriginal word meaning food or feed bag.

[13] The Goovigen branch of the Queensland Country Women's Association was established on Saturday 10 September 1932 with nine local women signing up with President Mrs L Nielson (President), Vice-president Mrs T McNae (vice-president) and Secretary-Treasurer Miss Margery Adams.

[15] In 1956 the branch purchased the building at 5 Stanley Street (24°08′46″S 150°17′11″E / 24.1462°S 150.2864°E / -24.1462; 150.2864 (Goovigen Country Women's Association rooms)) for its rooms which, after refurbishment were officially opened on 26 January 1957 by Rockhampton City Mayor Rex Pilbeam.

Over the years there were some closures of the branch: from 1941 to June 1949 due to World War II and then from 1960 to September 1974.

[16][17] On Sunday 7 April 1935, St Brigid's Catholic Church was officially opened and blessed by the Bishop of Rockhampton Romuald Denis Hayes.
