As you might be familiar with the area’s famed rum distillery and marine creatures, we’ve teamed up with Bundaberg Tourism to bring you a list of activities you mightn’t have expected to find in the region. Read on to discover locally made ciders, lesser-known fairy pools and how to find magnificent public artworks.
