Why travel for good when you can travel for Great? Here on the Southern Great Barrier Reef, we pride ourselves on being where Great Care begins, from caring for the intricate ecosystems that thrive below the oceans surface, to the rich red soil that grows 25% of Australia’s fresh produce.

If 10 days of immersive events celebrating where great care begins, nature’s breathtaking wonders, rich cultural heritage, and vibrant regional art sounds like your go-to weekender, don’t miss this year’s showstopping Milbi Festival!

When you’re travelling with little ones, 13 going on 30s, four legged children or even have the golden oldies in tow, it can be tricky to find a destination that floats everyone’s boat. Yet right here in Bundaberg, we have all the ingredients for the feel-good family getaway you’ve been busting for!  

Mon Repos Turtle Encounter has become a tradition in our family – since moving to Bundaberg, my family has visited at least twice a season.  There's something about the Encounter that keeps pulling us back, time and time again.

Whether it’s for those cute little hatchling turtles as they make their dash to the ocean, for the magnificent wildlife that call our waters and bushland home, here on the Southern Great Barrier Reef, we’re all about showing Great Care. So take some time for you, switch on your out -of-office and leave the hustle and bustle of daily life behind. Whether you’re travelling solo, with a lover or alongside cherished friends, the Southern Great Barrier Reef promises an escape that will leave you refreshed, reinvigorated and ready to return.
