HMAS Gympie paid off into Reserve at Brisbane, after having steamed over 100,000 miles. On 4 November 1947 Gympie’s sister ship, HMAS Lithgow, sailed from Brisbane with Gympie in tow for Sydney, where they arrived on 7 November. Gympie was sold on 6 January 1961 to Kinoshita (Australia) Pty Ltd to be broken up.
