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. 

Upon arriving at Australia’s largest craft distillery the scent of cane country wafts in the air. Sweet molasses, the hustle and bustle of a working sugar mill and maybe even the sound of a cane train arriving with a freshly cut batch of sugarcane in tow. Bundaberg Rum is in the beating heart of Bundaberg sugar cane country and the two go hand in hand with the fresh molasses (a by-product of cane production) carted over to the distillery to be made into this special rum that is proud to call Bundaberg home.

Top tipples, ciders, craft beers, spirits, cocktails, mocktails, soft drinks and everything in-between, Bundaberg knows how to create a good brew and bring the good times. Here is our go-to list of top spots to whet your whistle and sample some of the best local beverages and enjoy some of the best local drinking secrets.
