Here in the Bundaberg Region, we grow flavours from A to Z!

Two of the most intense flavours you'll find while touring our delicious region is the hard-hitting chilli and zesty lime and we've been celebrating the combination of these local favourites for years now thanks to the Chilli & Lime Fiesta @ Riverfeast, beginning in 2017. 

Picture a young aspiring journalist sipping chai outside a quirky café in a Melbourne laneway, dreaming of sunny skies and rain-free days. Image the moment her sun-soaked prayers were answered when a job opportunity in the sunny Bundaberg region became available. She was ready, ready to take a chance. Now, some 25 years later, the young journalist has transformed her career and life from damp days and story deadlines, to yoga classes and chai making in the warm Queensland sun.
