Discover the world-famous Bundaberg Rum Distillery, where educational guided tours and tastings offer a deep dive into the production process of Australian rum. While in Bundaberg, visitors can also explore the Mon Repos turtle rookery, enjoy diving or snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef, and go whale watching. The area's beautiful beaches provide a perfect setting to relax after exploring all that Bundaberg has to offer.
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.

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.
Casandra T — Google review
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

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.

Great place to go & learn about the history aswell as taste test all the softdrinks. Kids really enjoyed it too.

My friend and I joined the tour on a Friday and were pleasantly surprised by how fun it was. Amber and Sandy were both so cool and funny and they skillfully weaved in education with humour to keep our group laughing. Although we're both non-rum drinkers, we really enjoyed our tasting experience afterwards and spent even more time checking out the merchandise - they really have souvenirs for every type of person!

Gardens
Bundaberg Botanic Gardens, established in 1988 on a 27-hectare land, is a picturesque subtropical botanical garden featuring a serene lake, charming chapel, and scenic boardwalks. The gardens are adorned with over 10,000 shrubs and trees, offering visitors an opportunity to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature. Additionally, the site houses the renowned Bert Hinkler Hall of Aviation and Bert Hinkler's former residence known as Mon Repos.
A lovely little area to walk either solo, group, or with family/kids. A relatively easy walk. Also boasts a train you can catch around the parkland and I believe it is ticketed. The aviation museum is also within the same grounds, and there is a great playground area and seating available near the entrance of the gardens.

The Bundaberg Botanic Gardens 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.🙂🙂

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.
Shane H — Google review
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.

The Hinkler Hall of Aviation is an educational center that showcases exhibits on local aviation pioneer Bert Hinkler in a modern setting. While the hall may be small compared to other aviation museums, it offers a valuable opportunity to learn about Bert Hinkler's significant contributions to aviation history. Visitors can immerse themselves in interactive activities and view various aircraft displays, with some even accessible for entry.
Very cool place to explore, super interesting even if you’re not that in to aviation. Lots of interactive exhibits and heaps of local knowledge too. 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.

Awesome adventure! This goes beyond a museum and showcases the exciting, high adrenaline life of Bert Hinkler in such a fun, hands on & interactive way. We loved every bit of it. Highly recommend a visit. The entire area is wonderful. It is a shame all of it isn't open on Saturdays as we still haven't be able to see The Bundaberg History Museum. The botanical gardens are sensational & it's a lovely drive through, or walk through or train ride around the park. Gorgeous part of history and a great spot to visit while in Bundy.

Nestled within a public park in Bundaberg West, Queensland, Australia, Alexandra Park Zoo is a charming and compact menagerie that has been captivating visitors since 1911. Despite its size, the zoo boasts an array of animal species including dingos, emus, snakes, birds, monkeys, and lizards. It offers an educational and entertaining experience for all ages.
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!

Nestled within the scenic Bundaberg Botanic Gardens, the Fairymead House Sugar Museum stands as a testament to the rich history of the local sugar industry. Originally constructed in 1890 for the Young family, who were instrumental in establishing Fairymead Sugar Mill and Plantation, this charming bungalow has been lovingly preserved.
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.
Casandra T — Google review
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.

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.
Mark M — Google review
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.

The Bundaberg Railway Museum, located in the Northside, is a must-see attraction for tourists. The original Railway Station, constructed in 1881, now houses the museum which celebrates its 140th birthday in 2021. The museum showcases the region's rail history and its significance as a lifeline for transportation of raw materials to nearby Mount Perry.
Had the loveliest time browsing through this small yet underrated volunteer-run museum. Shoutout to Jim for being such a helpful and informative guide that made the experience so meaningful. We were lucky enough to catch a tilt train passing by as well. Pleasantly surprised to find some vintage postcards sold here as well, which made great souvenirs. Hoping that this place gets more visitors and support to keep railway history alive!

Note it was a challenge to find signing is not obvious but that makes it a hidden gem. I live on a tourist steam train line and I must admit I'm a big fan. Rail in the area was an important lifeline and as the manufacturing of trains returns to the region this museum remembers its roots. We were lucky to have a introduction by an informative volunteer and after giving us a ticket stamped with the original ticket machine he told us about the museum where to what and most importantly what the kids could interact with. We stayed for easily 2hours.

The Australian Sugar Cane Railway is a 2-km steam railway operated by volunteers, offering rides through the Bundaberg Botanic Gardens. The restored track takes visitors on a circuit through the tranquil gardens, pulled by beautifully maintained steam and diesel locomotives. This community project provides an enjoyable experience for families with kids and train enthusiasts alike.
$6 per adult, it was actually a pretty long loop! About 10 minutes. Very fun :)
Yan — Google review
A great way to see the botanical gardens and ride on either a steam or diesel train. The day I visited the diesel train was in service and I only waited about 10mins for a ride. They seem to run on demand so a great service, especially for only $6 an adult. The train also runs through the storage shed where you can see the steam engines and works in progress. Friendly staff and a nice relaxing ride around the gardens. Recommended for train lovers.

Our boys (2 and 4) thought this was great. The price at time of posting was $5 per adult and $2 for school aged children so we thought that was good value. There was a little wait to get on the train as the gardens was busy and it was about a 15-20 min ride.

What a fantastic place to take the kids! My 8 year old and 1 year old absolutely loved it!! It's set up in the beautiful Botanical Gardens, so it's a great way to see the gardens before you go and explore them. The train conductors are all volunteers and you can truly see how much they love doing it for their community. The price is extremely reasonable for the kind of experience you get.

The museum showcases historical artifacts from past local businesses and schools, covering various farming industries, early medical and town history. Visitors can explore exhibits on first nation history, early Chinese and Islander workers, as well as sporting stars. The museum also features a wide variety of memorabilia including yesteryear furniture and home equipment.
From toys to war stories and many interesting things in-between, you will that variety, really is the spice of life, right here. Choc full of curiosities and well worth checking out.

Situated in the Bundaberg Botanical Gardens, this is a fascinating historical museum. It may look a little cluttered when you walk in, but every section is dedicated to different professions or different parts of the house. Take your time and really do look around, there are some gems in there and it really does take you down memory lane of visiting grandparents and what they had in their house. A hint is to buy the Museum pass as it covers all of the venues in the garden at a reduced price.

With modern, well-maintained equipment and experienced instructors, this professional team provides excellent training for Padi Scuba certification. They also offer local shore dives as well as excursions to sites like the Ex-Hmas Tobruk.
Had a great experience during my open water course, excellent teacher, can’t imagine diving into the world of scuba diving anywhere else, have already recommended to multiple people. Looking forward to attending the advanced course.

Cheapest Place in Qld to scuba!!! Julian and his team are very well qualified and excellent teachers for Padi Scuba and very good watermen. they have modern well maintained scuba equipment and access to the Southern Great Barrier Reef for their dives. Local Bundaberg shore dives day and night as well as the Ex-Hmas Tobruk. Highly recommend this professional group of people.

Love the new store. Great set up. Julian and local staff are passionate about their work ethics and commitment to detail . Fantastic to see a business still thriving after 30yrs in the industry.

Highly recommend Julian, his friendly service was greatly appreciated. Got 2 x nitrox & 2 x air fills at his store, said we needed a tank of water he let us fill from his tap. So accommodating. Thanks Julian

We got cancelled by Lady Musgrave which was disappointing. However it turned into a blessing in disguise. Julian and his crew picked us up and delivered two fabulous dives on a wreck. Gear is top quality, safety and briefing’s excellent and the boat and food were lovely. Highly recommended and thanks to Julian for making the Bundaberg dive experience memorable.

I would thoroughly recommend Julian and his team, we did four dives with them on Lady Musgrave during our East Coast road trip and Julian really went above and beyond in helping us recover our trip after our diving activities further north were curtailed by Tropical Cyclone Jasper.

Had a great experience on the AquaScub diving course with Julian. A fantastic teacher. Loved the course and the flexibility with completing the open water dive that Julian provided. Cleary loves what he does, good clear communication and still actively diving himself.

Fantastic place to learn to dive. Julian is not only very knowledgeable of the local area and dive sites but an excellent instructor. They stock spread fishing equipment as well as SCUBA.

Very disappointed that the space allocated wasn't enough to cater for the crowd. We walked in, walked out. Absolutely chaotic. Let's hope next year it is bigger.
