Getting around
There’s more than one way to explore Bundaberg and the North Burnett
There’s more than one way to explore Bundaberg and the North Burnett, and none of them need to feel complicated. Whether you’re rolling into town by coach, picking up a hire car, booking a shuttle, or joining a guided tour, getting from A to B is easy, with plenty worth seeing along the way. Coastal drives, country roads, and hidden stop-offs all come standard, so you can spend less time worrying about logistics and more time enjoying the ride.
All Roads Lead To
Bundaberg
Getting to Bundaberg is never a hassle. Road-trip your way along the legendary Pacific Coast Way for big skies and coastal pit stops, settle in for an easy rail journey with Queensland Rail, or touch down in comfort with flights from Qantas or Link Airways. Prefer to sit back and let someone else do the driving? Coach services roll in regularly, making it simple to arrive relaxed and ready to explore.
Make the
journey the highlight
With so much to discover, you will want your own wheels to see it all so make it a roadie and drive here, or pick up a hire car when you arrive.
Coaches, shuttles, taxis, and guided tours can help you get between towns and attractions, so you can spend less time stressing about logistics and more time enjoying the ride. Along the coastline, explore the Turtle Trails on foot or two wheels with a coffee in hand
Just keep in mind, things run on country time out here, so it pays to plan ahead and check what’s available before you go.
Coastal Connections To Bush
Backroads
The Southern Great Barrier Reef is closer than you think, and Bundaberg is your launch pad to get out there. Hop on a plane from Bundaberg Regional Airport to Lady Elliot Island or sail out to Lady Musgrave Island on a catamaran from Bundaberg Port Marina. Day trip? Weekend escape? Full-blown island adventure? Too easy.
But don’t stop at the reef. Jump in the car and explore the whole region. Cruise the coastline for sandy beaches, seaside cafés, and plenty of “hang on, we’re pulling over for this” views. Head inland to Childers, Gin Gin, and the North Burnett for charming country towns, patchwork farmland, and scenic backroads begging to be discovered.
Windows down, salty air on your face, no rush at all. This is how you do the Bundaberg Region, take it slow, soak it all in, and let the adventure come to you.
