We went for a drive to Bundaberg last Friday – mainly to check out caravan parks and see if there was work in the area. We think we visited Bundaberg years ago, but neither of us can remember much about it. I was really surprised by how big it is – population is about 85,000 people. We found a park to stay at and it seems like there might be work so we’ve booked in for the week after next and we’ll give it a couple of weeks to see what happens with work. If we don’t get anything we might head further north or go inland a bit. That’ll also give us a bit of time to explore the area.

We had a bit of a drive around, and went to Bargara beach and had some fish and chips on the esplanade which was really lovely – the beach is about 15 minutes from the park we’ll be staying at. Apparently there’s some great fishing off the rocks there.

There’s also the Burnett River which runs through Bundaberg, which also has some good fishing spots. We’re looking forward to checking out all the fishing spots.
