🌿Day 1: (D) HOME TO BUNDABERG
Friday, 02 August 2024
Welcome to our wonderful tour to Bundaberg. After our morning pick ups we travel north, stopping for convenience breaks and to purchase lunch. Heading to Bundaberg, we stop at one of Australia’s working Macadamia Farms, Macadamias Australia Farm, for a tour and afternoon tea. Later this afternoon we check into our hotel and freshen up for our first dinner together. (Lunch own expense | Dinner at onsite restaurant)

🌇 Day 2: (BLD) BUNDABERG
Saturday, 03 August 2024
This morning we will be taken on a guided tour of Hinkler Hall of Aviation, located at the impressive Bundaberg Botanic Gardens. The museum celebrates the life and times of the famous solo aviation pioneer, Bert Hinkler. In 1928 he made the first solo flight between England and Australia. The house in which he lived his final years was transported from Southampton, England to its present location within the gardens. We are then off to the Bundaberg Barrel Brewed Drinks, where we will take a look at the True Brew Experience Tour, and have a chance to sample some of their 14 flavours and of course there will be some time to purchase our favourites. We have lunch at the River Cruz Café and then have a short walk to join the Bundy Belle for an afternoon cruise along the beautiful Burnett River. From aboard this fully restored classic river ferry, we will see the bulk sugar terminal, the trawlers unloading their catch and the seafood processing plants and the Bundaberg marina. (Breakfast & dinner at onsite restaurant | Lunch at River Cruz Café )
🌊 Day 3: (BLD) AGNES WATERS & SEVENTEEN SEVENTY (1770)
Sunday, 03 August 2024
Today we travel north to Agnes Waters and to Seventeen Seventy (also known at 1770). We discover the vast sandy beaches and crystal-clear water and experience the same magnificent beauty that greeted Lieutenant James Cook when he stepped ashore here more than two centuries ago. On arrival we join 1770 LARC tours that was the first amphibious tour operator in Australia. Our picnic lunch tour takes in the magical views and magnificent wildlife of the Round Hill Creek and the Eurimbula National Park coastline while enjoying informative and entertaining commentary on the local history, culture, flora and fauna. On our return to town we have some free time before our visit to Agnes Water Museum. After an interesting day, we arrive back in Bundaberg for our farewell dinner.
