We have been eating (and drinking) our way around the region to find the best spots to either breakfast if you are an early bird or brunch if the comfort of bed kept you sleeping in. Packed with local deliciousness, the best coffee and drinks and atmosphere to while away a morning - these top 7 breakfast and brunch spots showcase what the Bundaberg region is all about, amazing locally-driven produce based food, wonderful hospitality and good times.
From the region that delivers world-renowned sugar from our superior sugar cane, it's little surprise that we also make a mean coffee to go with that sweetness. Here's our 6 top picks for your next espresso hit.
Our four-legged friends are family, they are always there to greet us, with tails wagging after a long day at work and we often favour them over our better halves. So why not strap them into the car, and make memories with your mutt on your next family adventure!
For the surf-averse, going to the beach isn't quite the glorious summer day experience that it is for those happily swimming between the flags. But Australia has some beaches where you don't need to get in the water to have a great time.
Mon Repos Beach, Queensland 14km north-east of Bundaberg, Mon Repos is one of the world's most important nesting sites for loggerhead turtles. Come between November and March, and special ranger-guided tours take you on to the sand to watch the turtle circle of life. Early in the season, mother turtles haul themselves up the beach to give birth. Later on, hundreds of tiny hatchlings fight through the sand and scuttle into the sea. See parks.des.qld.gov.au
The closest access point to the Great Barrier Reef from Brisbane, Bundaberg is the town the turtles call home, where the reef touches the beach, where plates overflow with local produce and the rum is always world class.
