The Southern Great Barrier Reef dive sites are amongst those places that will make you want to hover in complete stillness as you watch the underwater world drift on by. Of course you’ve got to be lucky, but if you want a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see a pod of humpback whales, trains of mantas, schools of trevally and barracuda, even the odd hammerhead and great white shark, this is the place for your next adventure!
If we asked you to tell us what you know about Bundaberg, you’d undoubtedly say one thing: it’s where Bundaberg Rum comes from. And while this is most certainly true, and almost makes a visit to the coastal city worthwhile all on its own, that isn’t the only reason to make the drive north. Turns out, as well as being home to some spectacular beaches, Lady Elliot Island and the access point to a World Heritage-listed marine park, Bundaberg is a food and booze lovers haven, chock-a-block full of amazing places to eat, drink and then drink some more (this is rum country after, all).
While we all know that Bundaberg is the humming hub of the region, the surrounding districts also have a lot to offer.So pack your picnic or throw the fishing rod in the boot and come and check out a couple of awesome day trips from Bundy.
Welcoming autumn with milder temperatures and lush green rolling hills after summer rain, the North Burnett is an adventurer’s playground just waiting to be explored.
