Your Guide to Bundaberg Queensland

One of the first destinations on our motorhome road trip was to the region of Bundaberg, Queensland. 

This region is often overlooked but has so much to offer whether you choose to visit for a weekend or stay for a week long holiday.  Your Guide to Bundaberg Queensland will detail what Bundaberg and its surrounding areas have to offer, the best places to visit, things to do and FAQ’s.

The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land.”

By Rail

Queensland Rail (Phone 13 16 17), offers daily departures from Bundaberg. These services go both north and south.

By Air

Bundaberg Airport, 6km south-west of the city centre (10-minute drive) will be most travellers’ arrival point, with ride share and taxi services available

 Alliance Airlines (Phone 13 67 89) and Qantas (Phone 13 12 23), both offer daily services between Brisbane and Bundaberg.

Island Connections

Lady Elliot Island: A mere 25 minute scenic flight from the Bundaberg Airport and you are landing on the first island of the Great Barrier Reef. The waters around Lady Elliot Island teem with marine life. A coral cay, Lady Elliot Island is world renown as home of the Manta Ray, with research identifying over 7000 individual manta rays in the surrounding waters.

Lady Musgrave Island: A day cruise away from Bundaberg Port Marina, Lady Musgrave Island is unique as it is the only coral island on the Southern Great Barrier Reef with a navigable lagoon. The island and lagoon is a pristine coral cay with 1,192 hectares of spectacular fringing reef ready to be explored.


Weather in Bundaberg – When Should I Visit?

Bundaberg is in the Wide Bay region of Queensland and has four official seasons.

  • Spring from September to November
  • Summer from December to February
  • Autumn from March to May
  • Winter from June to August

Although popular year-round, the busiest period is from November through to the Christmas holiday season when most hotels and resorts have near capacity occupancy due to the ideal Queensland climate.

Many resorts in Bargara state that they have average occupancy rates of 80% per year, so even in the cooler months, visitors from southern states are attracted to the region to escape the cooler conditions and enjoy the milder climate of the Wide Bay region.


Safety

Queensland is a relatively safe place to visit – in terms of crime and war, at any rate – but take reasonable precautions as you would anywhere.

  • Beware undertows (rips) at surf beaches. Swim parallel to the shore to escape the current, then head for the sand.
  • Bushfires, floods and cyclones regularly decimate parts of Queensland: pay attention to warnings from local authorities.
  • Use sunscreen and cover up to avoid sunburn and heat sickness.
  • Cover up at dusk and wear insect repellent to deter mosquitoes and ticks.
  • Snakes are active in summer and common on bushwalking trails: wear boots, socks and long trousers (ideally gaiters).

We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance when travelling overseas. Insurance will cover important things like emergency medical hospitalisation / evacuation, baggage delays and trip cancellation. We recommend World Nomads for quality travel insurance you can trust, at affordable rates.

What Does the Bundaberg Region Have to Offer?

History / Heritage

The local Aboriginal group is the Taribelang people of the Gureng nation. They are the original inhabitants of the region which stretches from the Burrum River in the south to the Burnett River in the north.

Bundaberg itself was founded in 1867 as a British township by timber-getters and farmers John and Gavin Steuart. The settlement of Bundaberg originally began on the northern banks of the Burnett River in 1867 but an official survey was undertaken in 1869 and the town was re-sited onto the higher, southern banks. The area developed as an agricultural and port town.


Produce Grown / Industry

The Bundaberg region alone is one of the largest Production Horticulture regions in Australia growing a diverse range of healthy nutritious fruits, vegetables, nuts and herbs. This region is estimated to have an annual farm gate value of more than $500 million, injects over $1 billion into the local economy and plays an integral role in the nation’s food security. The Bundaberg Region provides a staggering 25% of Australia’s fresh produce and is continuing to feed the nation.

From pecans and tomatoes to strawberries and sweet potatoes, the region’s rich red volcanic soil and near-perfect growing conditions produce an amazing array of fruit, vegetables, meat, and dairy.

Some fruits, nuts and veggies, like the macadamia nut, ginger and figs, are readily available right through the year. Others, like passionfruit, zucchini and mandarin, prefer the cooler months, while water dew melons, watermelons and lychees, are at their peak in the warmest periods of the year.

Seafood is as fresh as it gets in Bundaberg, with the waters and estuaries that feed the Southern Great Barrier Reef abundant with local fish, shellfish and crustaceans such as prawns, scallops, bluefin, crabs and coral trout.

Bundaberg Beaches

Bundaberg is at the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef and there are plenty of great beaches suitable for swimming and surfing within a 20 minute drive.

It is safe to swim and the waters are calmer than the beaches of the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast. It’s also far enough south that it does not have the marine stingers or crocodiles that are prevalent in the northern waters of Queensland.

The popular swimming beaches are patrolled by the local lifesaving clubs, with designated swimming areas during the summer months.

Goodnight Scrub National Park

Protecting a once impenetrable and extensive hoop forest, Good Night Scrub National Park is a peaceful bush retreat. Have a bush picnic in a picturesque bushland setting at Kalliwa Hut. Keep an eye out for the 166 bird species and the 60 species of butterflies spotted in the park. Take a drive up to One Tree Hill Lookout for views of the North Burnett.


Lookouts

Situated off the road to Bargara is the low-lying volcanic remnant known as “The Hummock”.  Although only 96 metres above sea-level, it offers visitors good views over the whole area. The ocean is visible to the east, while to the west, the sugar fields can be seen encircling the city with the smoke stacks of the Bundaberg Distillery and Mill on the horizon. Watch the moon rise over the ocean as the sun sets over the land.

The Hummock holds an important place in local indigenous history. The Taribelang Aboriginal people were the first humans to inhabit this area. Their ‘burning mountain’ is the ‘Sloping Hummock” of today. There is a large Aboriginal art mural at the site which depicts the violent story of Paddy’s Island at the time of European settlement. Paddy’s Island can still be seen from the Hummock lookout today.

Turtles

Beginning in November, visitors can witness these majestic creatures on a guided tour as they make their way onto Mon Repos Beach to lay, then, months later the babies start their journey from sandy nests into the waters of the Pacific Ocean. Lady Musgrave Island and Lady Elliot Island are also known areas to see these amazing creatures.


Whale Watching

Each year, the pristine waters off Bundaberg come alive with the mighty migration of southern humpback whales from Antarctica up the southern coastline of Australia.

From September to November the calm waters off the coast of Bundaberg are used by mothers to teach life skills to their baby calves before continuing on with their migration.


Birdwatching

One of the best locations for bird watching is Baldwin Swamp Environmental Park (Steindl Street, Bundaberg) as there are a variety of vegetation types, including lakes, wetlands, vine forest, bushland and grassy areas. Over 130 types of birds have been recorded in this park.

The Bundaberg Port is another location for seeing coastal birds on the mudflats, in the mangroves and around the river entrance. Thirty-five rare or threatened species have been listed in the Bundaberg region such as the black-breasted button quail and the glossy black cockatoo.
