Where Great Begins

Bundaberg
Southern Great Barrier Reef

Welcome to the town the turtles call home and the start of the Great Barrier Reef.
Situated just north of Brisbane, Queensland, the Bundaberg region is where great truly begins; great rum, great tastes, great care and of course the Great Barrier Reef. 

From diving into sun-kissed coral-filled waters one day, to filling your belly with tantalising local produce and sampling award-winning drinks the next. Home to curious turtles, world-class rum, artisan distillers, 25% of the nation's fresh fruit and veg, idyllic white beaches and of course the Great Barrier Reef, Bundaberg has all the ingredients made for your perfect next holiday.
