Tuchekoi, Queensland

Tuchekoi is a rural locality in the Gympie Region, Queensland, Australia.

The lower land is along the Mary River and Skyring Creek, but rises towards the south and east.

[6][7][4] The Old Bruce Highway enters the locality from the east (Federal) and exits to the north (Coles Creek).

[8] The land use is predominantly grazing on native vegetation with some plantation forestry.

[9] The locality takes its name from Mount Tuchekoi, which in turn is believed to be a corruption of the Kabi language dha/chu/koi meaning place of fig trees.
