Welcome to The Traveler’s Guide to Bundaberg — part of the On the Road Down Under series.
In this episode, we explore the sweet heart of Queensland’s sugar coast — a place where golden cane fields meet coral seas, and local flavour is found in every drop of rum and every breeze off the Burnett River.
Discover the stories of the Taribelang Bunda, Gooreng Gooreng, and Gurang peoples, the Traditional Custodians of this land, and learn how their connection to the coast shaped Bundaberg long before the first cane was planted.
We’ll visit the Bundaberg Rum Distillery, the Brewed Drinks Factory, and stroll through the Botanic Gardens before heading out to the coast — where turtles nest under the moonlight at Mon Repos and families unwind at Turtle Sands Camping and Glamping.
Along the way, we’ll share local food spots, family day trips, and a few fun quiz questions to keep you entertained on the drive.
Whether you’re planning a visit, already on the road, or just dreaming of your next adventure — this is your friendly companion to Bundy and beyond.
