As you arrive in Bundaberg, you'll notice rolling rich red soil, rows of sugarcane, macadamias and the criss-cross grids of Australia's food bowl that greet you. Bundaberg city is most fondly associated with rum of the same name and Bundaberg Brewed Drinks which are exported to the world. There are several tours you can take - the Bundaberg Rum factory, Bundaberg Brewed Drinks, Hinkler Hall of Aviation, Fairymead House and Wednesday art walk at the Bundaberg Regional Art Gallery. Take a leisurely meander up the Burnett River on a guided tour, take yourself on a walk through the public art dotted across the city and pop into one of the many historical museums or galleries. Pack your snorkel and swimmers because 15 minutes from the city you'll find swimming, snorkelling, surfing and beachcombing. Head anywhere between Burnett to Elliott Heads - or even ride a bike along the Coral Coast track. Bundaberg is Australia's food bowl with nearly 90 per cent of the countries sweet potatoes grown there! The pick of the crop can be found there, with farm gate markets, fresh seafood and many local restaurants and cafes serving up the best, seasonal produce.
