‘Bundy’ as locals call it, is one of those regions where you can really put the brakes on and relax. So, take a little longer stop over and explore all that it has to offer. Home to the largest turtle rookery in the South Pacific, Mon Repos beach is where you can witness the turtle life-cycle unfold from November to March. Get up close and personal with the resident turtles and manta rays just a few steps off the pristine beach of Lady Elliot Island or Lady Musgrave Island - and snap that turtle selfie you’ve always wanted! Swap your fins for hiking boots and get exploring the region’s coastal gems, lakes, gorges and rural landscapes while hearing stories from colourful locals. But a visit to Bundy isn’t complete without sampling its iconic products including Bundaberg Rum and Ginger Beer, not to mention wineries, fresh seafood and the creamiest homemade macadamia ice-cream you’re likely to find.
