Queensland's coastal city of Bundaberg nestles in a hinterland rich in history and opportunity.
A diverse region only four hours north of Brisbane by car, Bundaberg region offers visitors a choice of beach holidays, idyllic country getaways, Great Barrier Reef experiences and wilderness camping in National Parks all within a short drive of bustling rural communities.
At the hub is the dynamic city of Bundaberg, the region's provincial capital, where heritage buildings stand proudly shoulder to shoulder with modernist architecture, cosmopolitan sidewalk cafes look out onto nineteenth century cast ironwork and twenty-first century sculptures - watched over by the spirit that bred Australian Icons like Bundaberg Rum, and aviation heroes like Bert Hinkler.
Vibrant farming communities supported by sugar, small crops and grazing have developed on the region's rich red soil plains. The same earth movements that created the plains laid down rich mineral deposits.
The region's location in the sub-tropics means that its beaches stay stinger free, and that coral reefs and cays lie just off shore. Mon Repos beach is home to the largest sea turtle rookery on the eastern Australian mainland.
Bundaberg's sub-tropic weather is naturally balmy - typical tropic island weather with sea breezes and plenty of sunshine.
Many who visit have stayed to take advantage of both the region's access to vital services and infrastructure necessary and Bundaberg's historically low cost of living
