Around the Bundaberg Region

Bundaberg Bargara

A vibrant, quintessential, Queensland country town with modern city elements, Bundaberg is a river town just minutes from the coast.

Ensure you experience the icons of Bundaberg: the Bundaberg Rum Distillery, Bundaberg Brewed Drinks, the Mon Repos Turtle Encounter and Hinkler Hall of Aviation.
