Did you know Bundaberg is home to some of the most epic encounters? We know what you're probably thinking, 'of course you have to say that, you work there', but we're not just saying it because we have too, we're saying it because we mean it! 365 days of the year our backyard is home to curious turtles, ninja warrior type goats and warm blue waters of the Great Barrier Reef. Now if that hasn't convinced you just yet, come a little closer, here's your complete guide to a holiday jam-packed with epic encounters and tasty treats 👇

Beach dips, ice-cream and lookouts are all covered day tripping from Bundaberg to Elliott Heads. Proposed times are for the early birds, but you can push it back if you are not a morning person. 

Victoria might have the event that stops the nation, but closer to home we have the event that stops the Bruce Highway for a whole day. Welcome to the Childers festival, which has grown into a four day extravaganza, celebrating local wine and food, historical tours, sugar cane fires, arts, and lots of music with both local and visiting artists (hello, Kate Cebrano!) and even an opera by the lake. 

Enjoy a long dinner at a local winery, take a bus tour to visit the sugar mill and watch a cane fire burn bright against the dark sky, meander through the main street learning about those who have paved the way before us on these very streets and then enjoy the main event - festival day with food, music and entertainment roving the main street of Childers. Meet you there!
