Bundaberg Distilling Company, Avenue Street, Bundaberg 07 4131 2999 http://bdcbondstore.bundabergrum.com.au/tours.asp

Mon Repos Turtle Rookery

This is an incredible nature experience, where you get to see loggerhead turtles hatch and make their way to the ocean. Even if you miss this spectacle (it only happens at in November-March), there’s a wealth of other activities in the area, including walks, boating and other tours. A big hit with kids and adults alike! Mon Repos Road, Bundaberg 07 4153 8888 http://www.bookbundabergregion.com.au/

Hinkler House & Museum

Telling the story of Bert Winkler, a Bundaberg-born aviator, Hinkler House and Museum is an enthralling step back into the past.

Bundaberg Botanic Gardens

A great place for a quiet, relaxing walk through well-maintained gardens and natural habitat. There’s lots of wildlife (especially birds), and it’s a great place for a meal at the cafe, or just to sit back on the grass and enjoy the view. And it’s free to enter!

Bundaberg Brewed Drinks
