Bundaberg Botanic Gardens and Playground

There is something for everyone at the Bundaberg Botanic Gardens. Situated in North Bundaberg, the gardens span 27 hectares of land and feature a magnificent lake which is home to 114 species of birds. Take a walk on the paths to discover the hidden Japanese Gardens and Chinese Gardens. The Bundaberg Botanic Gardens also play home to the Hinkler Hall of Aviation, Hinkler House, Cafe 1928, The Bundaberg and District Historical Museum and the nearby Bundaberg Railway Museum (small costs for entry). The Australian Sugarcane Railway offer steam train runs along the two kilometre train track through the gardens (available for a small fee) on Wednesdays, Sundays and during the school holidays. Discover more on the website. You can purchase duck food from Cafe 1928 to entice the birdlife closer for fantastic photo opportunities. Take a picnic rug and your own food as the Botanic Gardens are the perfect spot for a picnic or organise some food from Cafe 1928. Accessible car parks are located near the nature themed playground at the Mount Perry Road entrance and near Fairymead House from the Thornhill Street entrance. The nature themed playground includes several accessible play items. Accessible toilets are located next to Café 1928 and Hinkler Hall of Aviation. The Australian Sugar Cane train is wheelchair accessible with an approved access ramp.
