We had a great time at Bundaberg and Bargara; we went into Bundaberg to go on the rum distillery tour. It took about 1hr and ended up with a couple of tastes of the good stuff at the distillery tours bar.
The Bundy rum bottle at the old store at the sugar mill & distillery; Linda has a lot of growing to do.
Within the tour center there is a fantastic interactive walk around and several great displays; by pressing the various buttons below it gives you smells of the rum at various stages of the process. Some terrific aromas come out of here when the button is pressed; so good it is hard to go home.
Having a hooter this size does come in handy; cost almost nothing to get half pissed.
Bargara beach is not much sand but it is a very nice and quiet spot; Bargara has grown in size since I was last here and now has along with the IGA a new woolies store. It also has a few good fish and chip shops along with a pub and golf club; the normal cafe’s and eateries are all available locally.
The van park is quite big and has 2 amenities blocks; both are cleaned at different times and the facilities are very good. One of the blocks is more modern but a little smaller but whichever you went in they were clean and had plenty of hot water. Price at the time was $152 for the week so pretty good pricing for the facilities and location.
We ended up on a grass site owing to the majority of interstate visitors but we were pleased we did as it was a very social environment with plenty of “lets have a chat” people.
We met up with Jack & Yvonne who were heading back from further north to home in Hervey Bay; we had a few daily get togethers and afternoon teas. If you do get to see this Jack make sure you turn the telly off and make the tea when we finally catch up,
