Very interesting and well worth the visit, children are also welcome on the hour tour. The lady was very knowledgeable with information about the distillery Disappointed with the food as there was only a sausage in a roll with onions $6.95 & feta cheese & spinach puffs but you had to go looking for the filling as it was dry and all pastry.

Loved hearing how world wide, award winning Bundaberg Rum is made from womb to tomb. How molasses is extracted from sugar cane and the product not used is turned back to the cane farmers to use as fertilizer for future crops. Very impressive operation which spans a great size and run by only 38 full time employees.
Kathy R — Google review
When you say Bundaberg you automatically think Bundaberg Rum and rightly so. This tour starts with a self guided tour of the Museum showing the history of Bundaberg rum which is very informative and jovial at the same time, and yes the polar bear is there. What follows next is a tour of where they make the rum. Our guides for the day were G and Taylor and they were fantastic, very knowledgeable and also full of “dad” jokes. Note you are not allowed to take cameras, phones, anything electrical whilst on the tour, this is for safety reasons. At the end of the tour you get to have two drinks of any of their range. Don’t worry if you are not normally a rum drinker as they will help you choose an alternative to your normal tipple. It is advised to book ahead as they can sell out. But I really think it is a must do when visiting Bundaberg.

Not being Rum drinkers we thought we’d take a tour and see if we could be swayed. The museum was really informative and an interesting part of Qld history. Our tour guide Jayden was a superstar! Funny (with all the Dad jokes) but full of information, fun and very upbeat. Great tour, great guide, great value with a couple of taste testers at the end. Were we converted?

It was an amazing experience, the staff were amazing, shoutout to our tour guide Deb for making it an unforgettable experience, I’d give them a 100 star rating if I could, I will definitely be going back to do it again and will be definitely going back and doing the blend your own rum experience

Outstanding experience. Exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable staff and well laid out interesting museum. We didn’t choose to do the distillery tour as have done plenty previously but overheard one of the guides as they passed through and sounded very enthusiastic. Your ticket for the museum or tour gets you two drinks at the bar included - bonus!
Eleanor D — Google review
Amazing drink prices! Very very fair tour cost of $30 and you get 2 drinks at the end. So only really looking at like $5 for the entire tour. The most expensive spirit there only sets you back $12 and a mango cocktail sushi was $15. If you like Bundy it is a must to go.

This makes it a truly comprehensive and enjoyable experience for families with children of all ages.🙂🙂

What a lovely little piece of paradise located away from the hustle and bustle. Probably the only downside are the bin chickens and the bird crap that goes with it. But it is a very nice garden, well maintained. It has a cafe I believe but we never ventured there. And a little steam train that shows you around the gardens.

Looking for something to do when visiting Bundaberg, this is definitely the place to come to. It is free to enter and there is plenty of parking. There are three museums on site, Hinkler Hall of Aviation which also includes Hinkler House, Fairymead House Sugar History Museum and the Bundaberg & District Historical Museum. The best deal is to buy a museum pass so you get to see all three at a reduced price. There is a great cafe on site for when you are hungry called Cafe 1928. A miniature sugar train that takes you around the park. There is also the Chinese Gardens and the Japanese Gardens which are both beautiful. The park is full of wildlife and birds so do take in the beauty. There is so much to do, you can easily spend the whole day here and is very easy to walk around.

Loved the gardens. On a Sunday, Took train trip around the grounds.. $7 per adult. $3 per child. little man loved it. Great volunteers, very friendly and helpful. So many animals to see and feed the ducks. Loved the eels, water dragons, ducks, pelicans, turtles. Well layed out grounds. Plenty of parking, nice big playground in a fenced area. Clean toilets. Easy caravan parking on young street. Nice busy Cafe, quick service, reasonable prices and nice variety on the menu. So many grassed areas with shade for a picnic Love to visit again when next through Bundaberg

These junior aviators club is a super fun thing for kids. The gift shop has a cute range of products at reasonable prices. The 3 activity pass is really good value.

A great experience which gives insight into one of Australia's international heroes. It looks small, but you can easily spend several hours there. I also recommend viewing Mon Repos house, for a personal look into Bert Hinkler's life.
Jared C — Google review
Well laid out and well thought out staff were excellent and came and fetched us about a min before the film started giving us time to settle. Each item on display had at least a short note. What particularly struck me was the piece of the glider that went on the Shuttle “Challenger”. And was returned to go on exhibition. Pioneers of flight.
Dennis H — Google review
Situated in the Bundaberg Botanical Gardens, this is a really interesting museum about Bert Hinkler. Bert was an aviation icon who died far too young. Start within the globe as there is a short video about Bert and his life, there are a number of interactive displays so channel your inner child and try them. Entrance also includes Bert’s UK house which they shipped to Australia so do check that out as well as it is a time capsule. I would also buy the three Museum pass and check out the other two places in the gardens as it makes it really cost-effective. Definitely worth doing if visiting Bundaberg.

Interesting displays. The film was great to watch. We very much enjoying through the old house. The staff were very friendly & helpful.
Kylie J — Google review
For an aviation buff or a Bundy local this is a good place to visit to appreciate how big Bert Hinkler was in the pioneering days of aviation and what a local icon he was. The hall is small by aviation museum standards so if you are an aviation buff hoping to see displays of real planes then it would be a little disappointing. If you are invested in the stories more than the aircraft then it's definitely worth a look. This review would have been 5 stars except some of the interactive parts were out of order so that just takes you out of the experience a little.

What a wonderful surprise! This small zoo completely exceeded my expectations. While it may not be as large as city zoos, it more than makes up for it with charm, care, and a personal touch that bigger zoos often lack. The enclosures are clean, thoughtfully designed, and give visitors a great view of the animals without ever feeling invasive. I loved seeing unique species like the black cockatoos and emus — it’s clear the animals are well cared for and the staff are passionate about their wellbeing. One of the best parts? It’s completely free to enter! Perfect for families or anyone looking for a budget-friendly activity that’s both fun and educational. The surrounding park is beautiful too, with a shaded playground, picnic spots, and views of the river — great for making a full day out of your visit. Friendly staff, happy animals, and a relaxed atmosphere make this little zoo a must-visit if you’re in the area. A true local treasure!

Incredible experience thanks to the turtles, Rangers and friendly volunteers. We were lucky to see a loggerhead turtle lay eggs, after abandoning its first nesting attempt and then another turtle restarting. We were able to watch the little turtle from the sand running through to the water. Our group (2) left the building to see the turtle at 8:00pm and returned at about 10:00pm - a long night for us but well worth it. Suggestion: read through all of the Mon Repos information on the Queensland Parks & Wildlife service website, as the actual booking site only provides limited information。

An amazing experience. Our kids (4 and 9) both absolutely loved it. The ‘ranger’ costumes were great, the interactive self-guided tour had lots and occupied us for nearly an hour. All staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. To top it off, the cafe served up a delicious fish and chips with one of the best coffees we’ve had. Highly recommend anyone in area pay the Mon Repos Turtle Centre a visit for a unique and enjoyable experience.

Definitely bring: walking shoes and a light jacket for the beach. Truly special experience watching a loggerhead turtle lay her eggs. We were split into 2 groups and waited in a big hall adorned by beautiful native artwork, educational material about the turtle centre and its history. You could easily spend an hour just going through it to keep busy. We didn’t wait long before the first turtle sighting - we walked along the beach to see the turtle. The turtle wasn’t happy with the nesting spot so we walked back. Second alert came shortly after we returned and we walked towards the nest. The loggerheads there spent about 30-40 minutes laying her eggs. We got to help move the eggs to a new nest and the staff were exceptional: skilled, educated, and professional. Great experience for little ones and adults alike. Would recommend this to all!

This is so worth the visit We booked for the turtle experience again and never disappointed. Turtles arrived early this time,a bit of a walk to find her ,but watching her lay eggs and waddle back down to the beach is unbelievable. Watching her wade back into the water is mind blowing to me,such a humbling experience Weather was great Kiosk is brilliant tho a little pricey,plenty of seats,plenty to look at,visual tour at the back beyond the kiosk,kids can dress up, get there early tho to be in 1/2 groups. Also to find close parking. Everything is clean . Someone left their dog in the car barking in the car park,on can’t read signs and brochures online,they were asked to remove the dog. Lots to buy ,lots to do and so worth the experience. Will do again when hatchlings out Guys one thing that’s annoying me tho is the spelling of centre on the title above on your page,we aren’t American
Freddie J — Google review
Turtle nesting seasons start in Nov but I went too early so I have no luck to witness the moment. The staff is very kind to explain and tell me a lot of stuff about turtles and I learnt a lot from her that day. They sure are very helpful and informative. You will need to buy a ticket if you want to visit the museum. Else you can walk around or to the beach. But no visitors are allowed in the night during hatching seasons as the torch light will scare the turtle away. And you are required to book the tour if you want to watch the turtle laying the eggs.

Beautiful centre with equally beautiful surroundings. The turtle centre joins onto the beautiful beach which is a great addition to visit after visiting the centre. It is great to be involved in the conservation of these magnificent turtles in this area of ecotourism.

Definitely need to visit during nesting season (Nov to late March), otherwise it's a small walk area to the beach in addition to some information boards and small museum area. There's a cafe onsite too, and the boardwalk to the beaches was lovely. Understandably no dogs allowed at all within the area.

Today we enjoyed a complimentary tour and tasting at Kalki Moon Distillery in Bundaberg. Rick, who is the co-founder of the business did the tour and it was outstanding. Although he’s probably said the same thing thousands of times, it was like he was giving the tour for the first time. His passion for his craft was obvious and no question was too stupid. Following the tour, Rick’s son and wife, who are also involved in the business, organised our tastings with no pressure to buy. We were happy to buy some bottles of gin and rum on the way out to support this local, family run business. Well worth a visit.

What a gem of a distillery! We visited Kalki Moon Distilling Company for a complimentary booked tour and were not sure what to expect. We were super impressed by the professionalism of Mia (our tour guide) and her exceptional knowledge of the distillery’s history and processes for making gin, vodka and rum. Mia was calm, assured, informative and welcoming and the very positive experience will be easy to recommend to others. The final part of the tour showcased the golf simulation space with associated bar that can be booked for functions and parties as well as a sampling of two spirits of your choice from the extensive range produced by Kalki Moon. This exceptional experience should be a must hoist on anyone’s visit to Bundaberg. Thanks.

I was looking at 3 different dates to take my family on the Mon Repos turtle experience. The website booked and charged me for all of them, so I called to cancel two. As we were on our way to Bundy, I called to confirm our booking. Sure enough, there had been a mix up and our planned night had been booked out. I was assisted by an exceptionally helpful girl named Allanah, who contacted various people, despite it being to weekend, and was eventually able to rebook us for the following evening. Without the amazing customer service that I was provided, my kids would have been in tears and our special holiday weekend would have been a disaster. I think the website for bookings might need a little work though.

Fantastic venue Friday nights come alive on the Burnett River with the transformation of Bundaberg’s old Marine College facility into an enticing array of international street food and a selection of quality retail stalls to wander through. We really enjoy the selection of craft beers, ciders and wines from the local and Australian breweries. It has such a great atmosphere with fantastic live music whiles drinking nice cold brews on the deck and eating a selection of tasty foods.. Kids had a ball too... Chilling out in the kids area playing games when not mesmerized by the great live tunes.. Car Parking was not a problem, as there was a huge grassed area at the back of the venue if the main front car park was full.. We are from Brisbane and came to Bundaberg for a Family holiday over the Christmas break. I spoke to some local people in Bundy and they mentioned something about this place a couple days prior... And I'm so glad they did as this was one of the best nights we had in Bundy.. I wish I could have something like this in my home town in Brisbane.. I would like to thank all the staff and even the security on the door which were so helpful, even telling us about some great beaches to visit whole up there.. Thanks Guys🍻

A pretty walk around the few lakes, and a great place to view hundreds of bats across the bridges to the small inlands. Dogs allowed on leash, and you’ll need to be careful of both snakes and the floor temperature with the dogs (not many people were aware just how hot the floor can get unfortunately!). Limited shade on the walk, but good nonetheless!

I went to the Bundaberg Library to join as a member, I was so impressed by the way I was treated by Misty and Karen on duty staff when I went to enquire about the situation. They have a massive library of books and lots of services to go with the library. The seed information was awesome. They have seeds for you to take and grow at home. Can do online borrowing and normal regular borrows as well. You need to activate a few other apps to make the experience easier. They have a cafe as well to read and enjoy your books with a coffee or tea as well, didn't see a y snacks, so maybe no eating in the library. Really good experience overall and some awesome services to experience. If you liked my review, please click the blue hand to let me know how you went. See ya on the next one.

Needs some sort of noise barrier between childrens' area & the general library as it gets quite noisy at times which makes studying or reading difficult. Otherwise the library is very good in terms of staff & resources.

On a holiday from Adelaide, being a member of Campbelltown Library in Adelaide thought that I might get something to read. I was in Brisbane last year and joined their library for free without any difficulties. With my Campbelltown Library card in hand I approached the young lady at the reception counter, asking if I could join to borrow a/some books. She informed me that I had to produce an account in my name with a Bundaberg address to join for free, otherwise it would be a $30 fee!! I was a little taken aback and said that if I wanted a book then I would buy one. I explained that I was from Adelaide on holiday and didn't have the necessary receipts/accounts. We have found that Bundaberg is a very welcoming town/City. The bowls clubs have welcomed me with open arms, the fitness/pilates gyms likewise with my partner. Perhaps the Library needs to follow suit!! Stewart loch

Killing time in Bundaberg, I decided to go to the art gallery. As I entered I spoke to someone on reception who explained their were 3 exhibits on at present. Downstairs, there was a exhibit titled "Savour", which highlighted that mot people spend only 17 seconds at each piece, so they were encouraging you to savour each piece and I did exactly that. The pieces were thought provoking, beautiful, scary and weird. The second exhibit was a digital animation called "Invested", I sat and watched this 3 times. Upstairs was "in the shed", a collection of black and white photos of men and their sheds, with quotes from them. I spend over 1.5 hours in there and enjoyed every minute.

Definitely a place you need to stop and check out. Rebecca (Gallery Director) has a keen eye and has curated some amazing exhibitions. Currently, they have a exhibition from secondary students and it was beyond. The talent and emotions in the pieces made it hard to believe the age of these artists. Truly astonishing. Aside from the art the staff are some of the friendliest I have met (especially Sandy). They not only know everything about gallery but also Bundaberg and the surrounding area. This knowledge really enriched our road trip. Yes, I did ask permission before I took the photos =D

We went for the free kids crafts on a day visit in the summer holidays, which was great! A little table was laid out to help ourselves so we took our time colouring and enjoying the aircon and quiet. They also have a nice little nook for kids to do drawing in. Didn't look much at the art, there didn't seem to be lots. Then again, we didn't really go for that. Lovely stained glass window though :)

We visited the Bundaberg Regional Art Gallery to view the Ronald Hurley Exhibition, October 2023 This is a great venue with significant historical value in its own right We found the staff to be very friendly, welcoming and also quite knowledgeable of the exhibition pieces and artist The facilities are spotlessly clean, and, access is by stairs or a ramp - both from Barolin Street. On-street parking can be hard to find but there is a large off-street car park opposite on Quay Street. Be very careful crossing Quay Street, as it’s very busy and there’s no pedestrian crossing The gallery is a wonderful local resource, with a variety of exhibitions throughout the year 🏆

What a wonderful historical venue. Bundaberg is surrounded by history, living history. I couldn't stop taking pictures. Fairymead House is a crowning jewel and typical of Australian ingenuity and the strength of those indi viduals that built this country. If you're passing through this city, Bundaberg, Qld., make sure you stop and look. Fairymead House, located in the city Botanical Gardens.

Situated in the Bundaberg Botanic Gardens this is a fabulous museum about the history of the sugar industry in and around Bundaberg. It originally was the sugar mills manger’s residence for Bundaberg Sugar and was carefully moved to this site. You have to enter via the top floor, which has all the rooms dedicated to the founding families of the area, with the ground floor all about sugar and how it is made. You will be surprised of how interesting sugar is and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Note, it is only open in the morning, so if visiting the gardens make this your first stop. A good hint is to get the museum pass which allows you to all the venues in the gardens at a much cheaper rate and all are very close together so you can easily walk between them.

As visitors to Australia we found this imposing Queensland plantation house interesting as was the small section on sugar cane farming. There was little to interest children however and the whole visit only lasts about 30 minutes. Don't go out of your way to visit but it's worth a quick exploration on the combined ticket with the Hinkler Aviation museum and Heritage centre. The botanic gardens provide its setting with its handy cafe nearby. Visiting times are restricted so you need to plan ahead.

A brilliant museum showing the history of the sugar industry in and around Bundaberg Many individual rooms dedicated to various aspects of the industry and the life of the cane cutting community

Loved the history and the story of the Homestead. Don't miss the museum under the house.

Beautiful place. Calm serene and the house has a loved feeling. There is a lift if you can't manage the stairs. Fascinating background to the families that owned the house plus other families who started businesses relating to the sugar industry.

3 kiwi brothers who wanted to 'try something different...sugar' have built a wonderful Homestead. A wonderful example of the Queenslander style of housing. The museum about sugar is informative. 3 Italians and 2 Toft brothers played big roles in Bundy sugar. Thanks for nothing Cane Toads, a good recap of the original purpose and disastrous consequences. Located in the Botanical Gardens with access through walking the park, or car parking at the front of the House. Good work to the community of Bundy for relocating the House for people to appreciate.

This old house is a wonderful specimen, however some of the rooms were not set as what they used to be. A lift has been installed and even though true historians may lose their breath in a sudden cry of anguish, this has allowed many more people to see this home and is tastefully hidden. Some artefacts are very interesting and it also encompasses other families who contributed so much to the sugar industry. For Seniors' week, we were provided with tea/coffee and cake that we took pleasure in eating on that wonderful verandah. One could dream of such a house in India and sitting there in the Australian sun as the cane burned. There was a shirt replica that one of the men wore whilst working in the fields - they were tough in those days.

Bundaberg is very very flat with one little hill on it that has an outlook with a small gazebo that has an electric speaking overview on the history of the area. There is also a monument in honour of Bert Hinkler, but it is missing the bronze plane that is meant to be on top of it. If in the area I would pop up, it doesn’t take long and you can see the whole area.

Hummock Lookout offers a beautiful view of Bundaberg city on one side and Bargara on the other. It’s a must-visit spot to take in the stunning scenery of the farmlands and coastline. The area is quiet with little traffic, making it an easy and relaxing place to enjoy the cool breeze from the top of the hill.

A treasure in Bundaberg, a sight to behold. Don’t miss your chance to view Bundaberg Nanette surrounding regions from the top on The Hummock. You can see as far as the ocean all the way across the cane fields and to the mountains and beyond. An iconic spot where we made many boozy memories as teenagers. Long live the hummock

What a wonderful surprise! This small zoo completely exceeded my expectations. While it may not be as large as city zoos, it more than makes up for it with charm, care, and a personal touch that bigger zoos often lack. The enclosures are clean, thoughtfully designed, and give visitors a great view of the animals without ever feeling invasive. I loved seeing unique species like the black cockatoos and emus — it’s clear the animals are well cared for and the staff are passionate about their wellbeing. One of the best parts? It’s completely free to enter! Perfect for families or anyone looking for a budget-friendly activity that’s both fun and educational. The surrounding park is beautiful too, with a shaded playground, picnic spots, and views of the river — great for making a full day out of your visit. Friendly staff, happy animals, and a relaxed atmosphere make this little zoo a must-visit if you’re in the area. A true local treasure!

The Alexandra Park Zoo are a fantastic choice for a family day out. The gardens themselves offer a peaceful and safe environment for children to explore diverse plant life, spot colorful birds, and enjoy the open spaces perfect for running around. But that's not all! There's also a dedicated playground within the gardens, providing additional fun and entertainment for the kids. This makes it a truly comprehensive and enjoyable experience for families with children of all ages 😊

A small zoo but free entry. I used to visit here when I was a boy (a long time ago), and my visit brought back very pleasant memories. The enclosures are well done, and the animals look happy & healthy. The keepers are very friendly and knowledgeable. Worth the visit.

A small but free zoo next to the children’s playground and adjacent park. Dingo walking is around 2PM, although this can change depending on weather, school visits, or their desire to go for a walk. There’s a few native Australia animals, and a good place to visit when nearby for 20 minutes or so!
