3 reasons to visit BUNDABERG

There’s more to the Queensland coastal city than rum and sugar!

1

IT’S AUSTRALIA’S LATEST FOODIE CAPITAL

Gourmands from all over are travelling north in droves, heading up farm-to-table experiences. And it’s no wonder, considering Bundaberg cultivates more than 25 per cent of Australia’s fresh produce. For some of the best, check out Indulge Cafe, Water St Kitchen and Barking Dog Coffee. Take a food tour with Suzie Clarke of Bundie Food Tours or visit local farmers like Tina from Tinaberries, a strawberry producer.

IT’S FESTIVAL CENTRAL

From Winterfeast, a two-weeklong culinary event, to the Lime and Chilli Fiesta and the Brewfeast craft-beer festival, it’s party time all year round. October will be particularly buzzy – it’s when the Crush arts and music festival and David Stratton’s Travelling Film Festival are held, not to mention The Spirit of Bundaberg, dubbed the “world’s best distillery event”.

IT’S A NATURE LOVER’S DREAM

Catch sea turtles on Mon Repos Beach, one of the world’s largest nesting grounds for endangered loggerheads. Or jet out to the Great Barrier Reef and surrounding islands. The Whitsundays offers spectacular snorkelling and diving opportunities to witness the reef’s vibrant coral and exotic sea life.
