Traditional Land of: Kalki People
This subtropical land of sugar cane fields is a welcoming locale with just the right combination of attractions and activities to dazzle your sense and delight your spirit.
Are you a big fan of beaches and water activities? Then the 20 kilometres of beach to the north of the city – an expanse of golden paradise you’ll remember forever – is just what you need to make your holiday a dream come true. To the east of the city is a turtle rookery, and when you get done experiencing the turtles you can head over near the Burnett River and see the area’s flying fox colony.
Nature is not the only attraction, of course. In addition to its sugar production, the town also boasts a rum facility that offers regular tours to visitors from around the world, and those same visitors can take a trip on the Sugar Cane Railway. And then there are the botanical gardens, the aviation museum, and the Alexandra Park Zoo. For those who love a good mystery, the Mystery Craters are the ideal way to spend a few hours pondering how the nearly three dozen holes were formed.
The truth is that there are few places in Queensland that offer a more robust range of things to do and see than Bundaberg. There are even cultural attractions such as the city’s theatre, cinemas, and art galleries – as well as a wide variety of art, music, and other festivals throughout the year. In short, there’s always something going on in Bundaberg to make any visitor’s trip to the area well worth the while!
