An April 2003 trip to Bundaberg by peter madsen
Quote: Coral, sugarcane, and scurrying sea turtles! Don Pancho Beach Resort is squeezed between the Coral Sea and Bargara golf course. Lounging on the beach, or roaming the fairways is tempting, but it’s the region’s natural beauty that is Bundaberg’s hidden secret.
Overview
The turtle rookery Nov-Feb . . . migrating humpbacks Aug-Oct. You can't see em' both though!!
The Bundaberg Rum Distillery or Bert Hinkler's Aviation Memorial . . . your choice.
The resort pool . . . the ocean lagoon. Dunk yourself in either!!
The local beer gardens are a good spot to have a counter-lunch and talk over the day's outings.
The unspoilt beaches stretch north and south with Queensland's most northern surfin' spot one hour up the road.
Be VERY early for the turtle viewing unless you want to spend two hours waiting in the Turtle Rookery Info Centre.
