Day 2: (BLD) Lady Musgrave Island - Sunday 15, October 2023

An underwater oasis is waiting to be discovered as we travel on a luxury catamaran to the unspoilt Lady Musgrave Island. Pop on your snorkel and mask to reveal one of the Great Barrier Reefs protected coral lagoons. We also discover the pristine reef habitat many marine and land animals call home by glass bottom boat or an island walk. The tour will also include a delicious lunch. What an incredible day on the Reef!

Day 3: (BLD) Bundaberg - Monday 16, October 2023

Our first stop this morning is to the Bundaberg Botanic Gardens where we have a chance to ride the Australian Sugar Cane Railway. The train ride will take us through the gardens before visit the Hinkler Hall of Aviation. Australia’s famous pioneer solo aviator Bert Hinkler’s story is brought to life through interactive displays and glide simulations. We enjoy lunch at Café 1928 before heading to the icon of the region, Bundaberg Rum. Explore the museum and distillery on a guided tour and enjoy samples of the internationally award-winning run. Our final visit this afternoon is to Bundaberg Barrel Brewed Drinks.  We take a look at the True Brew Experience Tour, which has interactive touch screens showing us how the ginger root is transformed into the delicious Ginger Beer produced.  We have a chance to sample some of their 14 flavours and of course there will be time to make purchases of our favourites before we head back to the motel

Day 4: (BLD) Agnes Waters & Seventeen Seventy - Tuesday 17, October 2023

This morning we travel north to Agnes Waters and to Seventeen Seventy (also known at 1770) where we discover the vast sandy beaches and crystal-clear water. We’ll experience the same magnificent beauty that greeted Lieutenant James Cook when he steeped ashore here more than two centuries ago. There is a certain kind of golden sparkle that glistens across the ocean here. We enjoy a delicious lunch at the Marina Café before embarking on the Larc! Take in the magical views and magnificent wildlife of Round Hill Creek and Eurimbula National Park coastline while watching the sun approach the horizon and enjoying entertaining historical commentary. It’s the perfect way to experience 1770
