Bundaberg

Where Great Begins

The ultimate gateway to Southern Great Barrier Reef

The ultimate gateway to Southern Great Barrier Reef

Queensland’s bountiful gem, Bundaberg, is home to many. Poised just over 4 hours’ drive from Brisbane (or a speedy 45-minute flight!), this beach-meets-reef city holds the keys to Southern Great Barrier Reef and all its glory. Here, visitors are afforded exclusive firsthand encounters with vast corals, giant manta rays—some spanning an impressive 20 feet—and migrating humpback whales. Be sure to visit the starring ladies of the reef: Lady Musgrave Island and Lady Elliot Island. Both radiate pristine beauty like no other.

Bundaberg’s Mon Repos is another highlight, where endearing turtle hatchlings scurry to meet the sea. Accommodating Australia’s most endangered loggerhead rookery—with some turtles weighing up to 135 kilograms—Bundaberg’s community is committed to sustainability. So much so that the city was awarded an Eco Destination Certification in 2021, ensuring ongoing dedication to eco-conscious practices.

Bundaberg’s volcanic rich soil guarantees fresh local produce year-round. The city’s booming culinary scene is rooted in its farm-to-fork philosophy, where abundant resident fruit and seafood mark only the beginning. Fancy a tipple? Home to the nation’s most famous rum since 1888, Bundaberg Rum Distillery offers award winning experiences, complete with century-old secrets and limited drops! Whether caught, grown or brewed, Bundaberg’s hero flavours will have you coming back for more.
