Bundaberg-ing!

Our Bundaberg road-trip was booked back in January - timed because we  bought (front row) tickets for the Tommy Emmanuel concert!  

(There were venues a lot closer to home but we would've been much further from the stage).

We booked two nights at a caravan park cabin and drove up in the fuel-efficient red car.  (That was always the plan, even before the spacevan's unfortunate incident).

The main focus of the trip was to attend the concert, so there wasn't a great deal of time for sight-seeing.  We drove to Hervey Bay on Monday afternoon and stayed with Di that night - then drove the rest of the way on Tuesday.  We stopped for lunch and a walk at Childers and checked into our cabin later in the afternoon.  

We saw some of Bundaberg on Wednesday - the free zoo was very well presented and we had a wander down to the Burnett River afterward, where there were welcome swallows and an egret (keen to steal bait fish from the local fishermen). There was time for a stroll around the main part of Bundaberg before returning to our cabin and readying ourselves for the fantastic evening concert.  

After checking out on Thursday morning, we drove along the coast to see some of the little townships before returning to the highway and then heading down to Hervey Bay for more time with Di.  We left her in the early evening and arrived home around 9:00pm that night.  It was a quick trip but we thoroughly enjoyed it!
