Acacia Motor Inn Bundaberg

Bundaberg &#8211; Thursday 15th to Saturday 17th October<br><br> I arrived late at night in Bundy, and was picked up by the only hostel that I could find that didn't close at 6pm. Being a working town, most of the hostels seem to not bother with passers by, only long termers. The hostel was very loud, with all the dorms coming off the main corridor, and all the drunken ...

... for checking out the Bundaberg region, which was something we wanted to do. Elliott Heads is about 22km south-east of Bundaberg and boasts a large estuary with a broad expanse of sheltered bays with picnic areas overlooking the beach. It is the southern most of the local beaches situated at the mouth of the Elliott River and is surrounded by cane fields and small crop farms, including strawberries. We tasted the most ...

I was quite well behaved remembering that I didn't need to have to pack anything more into my already slightly bulging suitcase.<br><br>One thing i did see a lot of which I wasn't ...

... it means it was the first time she was on land in 30 years since she was born on this beach. It took a long time for her eggs to start coming, and that is apparantly normal for new mothers. The ranger tagged her, since she was new. I felt so bad for her having to go through all that and then get shots of the tags in her flippers.

... like to eat, it is so easy to see why they go after a floating plastic bag. The poor little probablly didn't survive - makes the plastic message very real. We had a really relaxing 5 days on the island. When not snorkeling we hung in the recreation room, sat in the sun and read books and explored the lagoon at low tide. I would love to go back a little further into summer when the island and the water was warmer- and the turtles are laying.

... beds, culled a lot of our gear that Ange had brought up from Brissie, cleaned out several locker and put all the cruising guides and that kind of literature on the shelf in the S/b cabin leaving me with an empty locker in the P/t companionway for more galley things.
