Every year from November to March, the shores of Mon Repos comes alive as mother turtles haul themselves up the beach to nest and hatchlings begin the first steps of their journey as they make their mad dash to the sea.

This week marks the beginning of the September school holidays. After an unprecedented year, we are thrilled to see visitors returning to the region to spend time with their families and experience the beauty of our region.

Only a half a day’s drive north of the south-east, our region can cheekily say that you can leave after the mornings peak hour and be in Bundaberg in time for a lazy afternoon’s lunch of fish and chips at the beach.

We currently have nominations open for 5 directors positions for our Board with one of those specifically dedicated to a representative from the North Burnett Region. If you believe you have the skills and time to dedicate to a volunteer Board position with Bundaberg Tourism nominate here. 

Every year, visitors from throughout Australia and beyond (pre COVID of course!) make their way to our backyard, to swim alongside our marine life at sun-kissed coral reefs, to witness a miracle on the shores of our famous Mon Repos, to experience our year-round abundant produce, and to sip award-winning drinks made by our brewers, crafters and distillers.

A message from Katherine Reid, CEO

Right now, as Melbourne returns to lockdown and many Queenslanders breathe a sigh of relief as our own border restrictions ease from the 10th, there are heightened emotions around the nation as conversations turn to the economic consequences of a second wave.

Everyone knows food and holidays go hand in hand so we wanted to share some tools on how we as a destination can help our visitors make the most out of their foodie experience while they holiday in our destination.

TEQ has launched the multi-million-dollar Good to Go campaign, with the main call to action being Queensland.com.  We wanted to provide you with a reminder around how to can leverage this activity through your ATDW Listing and Queensland.com
