With the waters of the Southern Great Barrier Reef glistening in the distance, you wander down to the shore line where each year a special event takes place. It’s the scene of hundreds of steps of new life as the Mon Repos turtle hatchlings make their way to their ocean home.

The seas are also where you’ll find colourful coral reefs, abundant marine life and popular islands and beaches—including the world-famous Lady Elliot Island.

On the mainland, you can easily spend days exploring the historic towns that dot the Bundaberg North Burnett region or sample the local delicacies at one of the restaurants or cafes in Bundaberg itself.

The region caters for all holiday makers and gives you a great taste of the Queensland lifestyle. Be adventurous and go on a fishing charter to see if you can reel in the ‘big one’, or choose your own pace to discover the rocky coastline and extensive National Park trails.
