Bundaberg North Burnett Tourism, Bundaberg Holidays & Travel Guide

Welcome

Bundaberg is a modern, progressive city servicing a district population of 112,000. Bundaberg was named in 1867 by combining "Bunda" (an aboriginal elder) and "berg" (Saxon word for town). Nowadays, the more familiar 'Bundy' is used. Encounter natural phenomenons, discover museums and galleries, taste rural experiences. Visit Bundaberg and the North Burnett.

With the Great Barrier Reef just off our shores, ancient mariners (the turtles) returning annually to nest at Mon Repos beach and plenty of things to see and do - both natural and man-made, there’s something for everyone. The Bundaberg region really is a great place to visit.

The Turtles of Mon Repos beach

Mon Repos is the largest loggerhead turtle rookery in the South Pacific and has seen a steady increase in turtle numbers over the years due to the conservation efforts of the Queensland National Parks team.

Discover our City Spirit

The Burnett River flows through the city, dividing Bundaberg in two. It is a place for recreation - catering for fishing, boating, rowing, skiing and sailing. Parks grace the river banks and are an ideal spot to relax and enjoy a picnic and let the kids run around and play in the fresh air.

The Southern Great Barrier Reef

Stretching over 2,000 kilometres along the Queensland coastline from Bundaberg to beyond Cape York is the world’s largest living marine formation, the Great Barrier Reef.

Taste the Hinterland

The North Burnett is located approximately four hours drive north of Brisbane and one hour west of Bundaberg. The region takes its name from the Burnett River that flows through it. The district is renowned for its fresh produce, citrus and cattle.

Burnett Circle Touring Route

The North Burnett is a real contrast to the coastal parts of the region. Rugged gorges, imposing mountain ranges, serene rural views, the Burnett River and towns offering country hospitality. Take the circle as a side trip or travel through the district on the Burnett Highway (A3).
