When it comes to festivals, there is nothing quite like Childers Festival, held every year on the last weekend in July. Showcasing events sure to put a smile on everyone's dial, from the feel-good favourites Opera by the Lake, Cane Fire Tours and of course the iconic Childers Festival Day, to spunky new offerings such as Fiesta Latina and A Night of Burlesque at the Paragon, this year is set to be a four-day extravaganza of culture, food, history and music that stops the highway!

You know those feel good, heart warming, stay a bit longer, play a bit harder kind of events?

From foodie feasts hero-ing the salt of the earth farmers feeding the nation and pouring their all into producing the perfect crop, to fist pumping music festivals, where you make lifelong friends in the crowd and sing almost as loud as the headliners.​ Passionate locals bringing regional communities together for family fun days to transformational experiences, connecting with culture, in spectacular bucket list surrounds, leaving a better person kind of events.

Yee Gee, or hello in Taribelang language - this was one of the many traditional language learnings I took away from my time on the Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow tour run by Taribelang Bunda Cultural Tours, which is a meaningful and wonderful way to explore more of the Bundaberg region through the lens of our First Nations custodians. 

We all have that one person in our life who’s basically impossible to shop for; they either have everything they already want or need, are hopelessly hard-to-please or say ‘your presence is my present’ (that’s kind of the worst – agreed?)
Here’s the lowdown on the Bundaberg Regions unique experiences that are equal parts thoughtful, unexpected and guaranteed to get you on Santa’s Nice List for next year.
