Details About Bundaberg

Port Bundaberg is situated close to the mouth of the Burnett River and is almost 25 kms (16 miles) from the city centre. The district is agriculturally based with the main crops being sugar cane and a range of vegetables and fruit. The patchwork quilt of these lush green crops and the rich red soil make a spectacular landscape from the Hummock Lookout. The city is famous as the home of Australia's most popular spirit - Bundaberg Rum. Mon Repos Beach lays claim to be the largest, most accessible turtle rookery and hosts around 300 nesting turtles from November to January.
