BUNDABERG

Introduction

Attractions

• Bundaberg has over 500 hectares of parkland. Alexandra Park with its Victorian era band rotunda (1910) has the added attraction of a free zoo, a great place to take children. Buss Park near the City Council offices in Bourbong Street is always full of colour.
• Baldwin Swamp environmental park is home to many species of birds and wildlife. Walking tracks, including boardwalks, enable visitors to visit the paper barked tea tree forest, vine scrub and eucalypt forest.
• The Bundaberg Botanical Garden is in North Bundaberg on the comer of Mt Perry Road (Gin Gin Highway) and Young Street. The centrepiece of the gardens are the lagoons where the young Bert Hinkler studied ibis in flight.
• Take a stroll through Pennyroyal Herb Farm or Avocado Grove with its cool leafy walks. Visit the delightfully named Lover's Walk Nursery and Aquarium and check out the world renowned gerberas at Bauer's Hummock Gerbera Nursery. Cacti are the speciality of Currajong Gardens near Gin Gin.
• The real flavour of Queensland can be found at the Bundaberg Rum Distillery in East Bundaberg, tours operate regularly throughout the year. Tropical Wines proudly make their wine from fruit, not grapes and you can taste and purchase at their North Bundaberg winery.
• The East Water Tower (1902) which is a masterpiece of bricklaying with walls up to 1.4 metres thick in places.

Activities

• Here the Great Barrier Reef begins with coral reefs fringing the shoreline, reef walk, snorkel, dive and view one of the great wonders of the world, all from Bundaberg.

• Over 140 kilometres of unspoilt beaches stretch from Woodgate to the Town of 1770. These are stinger free and range from surf to calm water. Many creeks and river estuaries provide ideal spots to drop a line and fish.

• Watch the Humpback whales which pass close to the shoreline en route to Platypus Bay on Fraser Island. Turtles also have a special affinity for this part of the world.

• There is excellent shopping and many fine restaurants.

• The Burnett River flows through the city and is a place for recreation catering for fishing, boating, rowing, skiing upriver at Sandy Hook and sailing downstream near the port. 

• Divers are well catered for with dive facilities on the islands and specialised dive boats. Diving is not confined to the islands with dive sires just offshore, at the Beaufort Bomber wreck, artificial reef and Evans Patch.
