Paprika picken
... nämlich außer Supermarkt, ein paar Tankstellen und zahlreichen Bars nichts zu bieten. Die 8 Stunden Busfahrt von Maroochydore nach Bundaberg waren gut zu überstehen. Leider kam ich erst gegen 23 Uhr an und musste noch einen 2km Marsch mit meinem ...

Fifth Wwoofing hosts
Our fifth wwoof hosts were Allison and Peter who had a house around Bundaberg, a decent size town along the coast in mid Queensland. This was to be a short visit, as there wasn't much around this area to see or do, and we had to get up the coast ...
Have you ever felt...
Hey, have you ever felt that you send out all your care, somehow the one you care can't feel it? This is how I feel right now. No matter how hard I tried, you still can't get it. you are thousand miles away from me, God knows the only thing I ...
Bundaberg 350pm (Stud)
... city. I'm out in the park across the road from the hostel I'm staying in tonight. Nice hostel. Since most of the people that come to Bundaberg are here to work they usually get up at 430 or so, thus making alot of noise. So, this place also has a flat ...
Road Rookies

Turtles, Turtles Everywhere!
... on the Whit Sunday Islands, I got to swim with one. Thought that could not be topped, but I was wrong. I took a detour to Bundaberg (Bundy for the locals). Australians laugh when I say I went there and ask why... the answer is because of turtles! This ...

We left Bargara and it's windy, windy weather and headed up to Bundaberg to catch up with our old friends - Kev and Julie. They lived in Moranbah over 20 years ago and we haven't called in at Bundy for 6 years. It was great to see them again and see ...
Nothing lost (YET) but a few things forgotten

You're unprofessional, Annette
There's always a price to pay when you've done something not so wisely.Say too much or refuse to say anything both hurt people's feeling sometimes I support.It's like drugs, either under or over dose is not good. And you can't get what you want if ...
Turtles
... , so I won't except to say that I had a picnic in the park and was joined by a couple of interesting looking birds. I left Bundaberg and then went to find a cheaper camp site closer to where the turtles were via the Bundaberg Rum distillery, I took a ...

Discovering the coast
