| Bundaberg and Coral Coast |
Bundaberg, Coral Coast & Country is a charming region of pristine beaches and coral islands, in an easy four-hour drive north of Brisbane. Known as the southern gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, the region boasts an unspoiled 140km sandy coastline, several national parks and coral cays, all which are awaiting your discovery.
|
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 for a sip or two of 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 taste.

Be sure to visit the Town of 1770, the first place Captain Cook landed in Queensland, that lies on the estuary of Round Hill Creek. Then there’s Lady Elliot and Lady Musgrave Islands, two coral cays, that offer true eco-experiences. Swim with manta rays or go coral walking, the options for natural enjoyment are immense.
|
Here's a destination imbued with heritage ambience, and offering access to stunning beaches, the Great Barrier Reef in the east, and west to the wineries and serene countryside. The thriving city of Bundaberg is dotted with lovingly restored heritage buildings amongst the modern architecture. With a long history of welcoming visitors to enjoy the region's wealth, Bundaberg offers attractions, accommodation and dining options galore. The majestic Burnett River runs through the middle of Bundaberg, and locals have harnessed its beauty by flanking the river with parks, playgrounds, and even a zoo.
|
Historic towns and beautiful vistas overlooking the rolling countryside…the hinterland offers this and much more. Visit townships set amidst cane fields and take time to visit various lookouts and ridges for scenic panoramas. Be sure to stop by Gayndah, Queensland’s oldest town, and Mundabbera, the State’s citrus capital. And as you drive between towns, enjoy sunflower fields and take in the beautiful history of the region.
