Other than @robertirwinphotography in @bondsaus… we can’t think of anything more Australian than this 🦘😏⁠

Kangaroo on the beach, sunrise doing its thing and not a worry in the world.⁠

Welcome to Archie’s Beach, just minutes from @kellysbeachresort, where even a casual morning stroll can turn into a full “only in Australia” moment 🌅⁠

There’s an English house in the Bundaberg Botanic Gardens… and the story behind it is even wilder 🏠⬇️⁠
⁠
Bert Hinkler was a Bundaberg local who completed the first-ever solo flight from England to Australia in 1928. When his English home (named Mon Repos, after a beach in Bundaberg) faced demolition in 1983, a group of locals refused to let it go. They dismantled it, shipped it across the world and rebuilt it right here in the Bundaberg Botanic Gardens.⁠
⁠
Every brick. Every fitting. Even the kitchen sink (retrieved from a well in the backyard). ⁠
⁠
Today, it stands overlooking the very field where Bert landed after that record-breaking flight.⁠
⁠
Come see it for yourself 👀⁠

Stop saving this for someday. Manta ray season is now.⁠

You`ve driven past the cane fields. Walked the beaches. Explored the towns. BUT...⁠
⁠
Have you seen how it all fits together? 🚁⁠
⁠
@raptair.aviation⁠ takes you up and over the Bundaberg you thought you knew: cane fields meeting coastline, the Burnett River threading through town, Mon Repos from above, turquoise water as far as the eye can see.⁠
⁠⁠
This is Bundaberg from a completely different angle. ✨⁠

They`re BACK 🐋⁠
⁠
The first humpback whale of the season was just spotted breaching right in front of the @ladymusgrave_experience day tour… and if that`s how the season is starting, we`re in for something very special.⁠
⁠
Soon, around 40,000 whales will be cruising past the Bundaberg coastline on their great annual migration, and the best seat in the house? On the water with @ladymusgrave_experience. ⁠
⁠
Whale watching tours run from July to October, so consider this your official sign to start planning 👀⁠

This one`s a whole experience 🥜⁠
⁠
@macadamiasaustralia isn`t just a farm gate stop… it`s a full tree-to-table journey set on the grounds of their 3rd-gen family farm in Bundaberg`s rich red soil country.⁠
⁠
Think guided tours, a self-guided orchard walk, interactive displays, a chocolate viewing room, complimentary tastings, a farm gate shop and @theorchardtable serving macadamia-inspired dishes in a picturesque setting.⁠
⁠
Oh, and the whole facility runs on macadamia shell power. Because of course it does.⁠
⁠
ℹ️ Open 7 days, including this Labour Day long weekend.⁠
