On Thursday 8 July we decided to explore the town of Bundaberg. It is around 57km from Woodgate on a winding road through the sugarcane fields. ‘Makes sense, I thought, how else does one get the base fuel for the lovely Bundy Rum’.  The main street of Bundaberg is beautifully renovate with heaps of plants adorning the spaces available. We had a good breakfast at one of the many cafes and then had a walk about the town; see pics. Later we drove to the mouth of the Burnett river, which runs through Bundaberg, There is a nice little yacht club situated there. There is ongoing work at the river mouth to drege the sand that is filling up the inlet.

A while later I drove to the’ Bundaberg Distillery which is well signposted’.  Thus it was easy to find. I took some pics of the iconic polar bear as well as the decal of the rum bottle. The factory was going at full steam producing ever more of the beautiful amber liquid.  I ended up not buying any product as no one in our family drinks the stuff.

At this stage it was close to going home time.
