Bundaberg

Bundaberg, Coral Coast & Country is a coastal region of towns, unspoiled 140km sandy coastline, several national parks and coral cays in an easy four-hour drive north of Brisbane.

This is the heart of Queensland’s sugar country and the access point to the Southern Great Barrier Reef, with world famous city attractions including the Bundaberg Rum Distillery and Australia’s best known sea turtle rookery at Mon Repos.

Find out why the Bundaberg Region is also proud to boast Australia’s Friendliest Beach just 15 minutes drive away at Bargara.

Lady Elliot Island is easily accessible from Bundaberg and dive trips, dive courses and fishing charters visit the coral reefs regularly.

There is an abundance of wildlife in this region, you can witness the annual turtle nesting and hatching at Mon Repos, the largest mainland concentration of turtles in the South Pacific Ocean region.

Then venture inland and experience rugged wilderness that tests bushwalkers and four-wheel drivers alike. But make sure you save some time to sample the favourite Australian drink, Bundaberg Rum, commonly known as ‘Bundy’. Created here over 100 years ago, a visit to Bundaberg is not complete without a visit to the Bundaberg Rum Distillery.
