Our four-legged friends are family, they are always there to greet us, with tails wagging after a long day at work and we often favour them over our better halves. So why not strap them into the car, and make memories with your mutt on your next family adventure!

The closest access point to the Great Barrier Reef from Brisbane, Bundaberg is the town the turtles call home, where the reef touches the beach, where plates overflow with local produce and the rum is always world class.

‘’It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey’’ – well in the Bundaberg Region, you get the best of both worlds. Welcome to the land of the wacky and wonderful from Queensland’s oldest town Gayndah to the sandstone wonder that is Cania Gorge - join us as we guide you through what we can only describe as a road trip of randomness.

Sweeping white sands, rockpools just a ramble from the shore, turtle tracks leading to crystal clear waters and a whole lotta’ reef snorkelling – the Bundaberg Region has the reef just within the reach of your flippers. If you are holidaying with your little ones, or teens who are 13 going on 30, here’s the reef lowdown on all the natural experiences on offer here on the coast. Pack the snorkel and flippers (or just goggles will do) and jump on into our reef within reach!

Big city traffic, daily grind, kids need to defrag and spend less time in front of the screen and get out in nature? Look no further, pack up the fam complete with lots of road trip snacks and audiobooks, hop in the car and get road tripping with your favourite playlist 4 hours away to Bundaberg. You will feel like you have flown hours to reach this natural adventure paradise where great local food, wonderful weather, smog-free skies and extensive nature experiences will help your family make memories to last forever.
