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!

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.

The Pop-Up Polo is coming to Bundaberg, Saturday 31 August. Come join us for a weekend of polo, fashion, glamour and great food and drink.
