Eco & Sustainability
Big On Care. Full Of Heart.
Here in Bundaberg, Southern Great Barrier Reef, Great Care isn’t some fancy slogan we slap on a brochure. It’s just how we do things.
We look after the curious sea turtles, the mighty manta rays, the intricate corals and the big reef legends cruising offshore like they own the joint. We keep an eye on our superstar mumma turtles and their tiny summer hatchlings making their dash for the ocean.
And it’s not just the blue stuff we care about.
It’s our rich red soil. Our patchwork farmland. The early-rising legends growing top-shelf produce all year round. The hands-in-the-dirt, boots-on crew who make this place tick.
Because around here, great care starts with community.
Locals and businesses are always stepping up, ditching the waste, backing eco-friendly packaging, finding smarter ways to keep our oceans sparkling and our backyard thriving.
We don’t just love this place. We roll up our sleeves for it.
Always improving. Always innovating. Always looking after home.
For us, Great Care isn’t a finish line. It’s just second nature.
ECO
Certified
Bundaberg Region is an eco-accredited destination. That means a stack of local operators have earned the green tick from legends like EcoTourism Australia and EarthCheck.
These folks aren’t just showing off our world-class wonders to visitors. They’re doing it the right way, keeping the Southern Great Barrier Reef and our backyard in top nick for the next generations.
So you can Travel for Great without a worry and focus on the important stuff.
Do you snorkel the lagoon or the coral gardens first?
Do you grab that second farm-fresh ice cream today?
Or maybe sample a top-shelf rum or two?
Bundaberg was the second destination in Queensland to snag the globally recognised ECO Destination Certification through Ecotourism Australia. Being the southernmost gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and home to Australia’s biggest endangered loggerhead turtle rookery, our locals, tourism pros and councils aren’t just talk. We are all in on keeping this slice of paradise thriving.
The ECO tick is the official nod that we are walking the talk.
