Bundaberg Hotels

Bundaberg is in Queensland, Australia, south of Rockhampton and north of Hervey Bay. Aerial view of Bundaberg, showing the Burnett River and Bourbong StBundaberg is closely linked to the sugar cane industry. The area is surrounded by cane fields, and the small railway lines used to transport the harvested cane to the mills. The closeness to the cane mills is the reason for the siting of the rum, ginger beer, and sugar industries associated with Bundaberg. The town itself is set back around 10km from the ocean and the ocean beaches, along the river. Bourbong street is the oddly named main street (originally named Bourbon Street, but historically misspelled). Parts are also known as the Isis Highway. The town of Bargara is essentially the beachside suburb of Bundaberg. Home to many modern apartments, accommodation, and resorts with ocean views. It is close to Bundaberg but has a very different feel to the town centre. It has a small shopping and restaurant strip of its own, and a esplanade with barbecues and picnic tables. The Burnett River runs through a divides the town. It is crossed by two road bridges and a railway bridge. Home to a rum-guzzling polar bear, a turtle maternity ward (of sorts) and a motley crew of migrant backpackers, Bundaberg is a country town that feels oh-so two centuries ago. Aside from the odd aesthetic alteration, Bundy, as it's affectionately known, has remained relatively unaltered since birth. Sitting at the edge of a coral-fringed coast, amid fields of waving sugar cane, the town's main strip is embellished with wide streets, stoic old Queenslanders and swaying palms.
