Fraser Island, the Sandy Strait and historic Maryborough were great but it was time to head further north once more. After provisioning Erica in Hervey Bay and finalising some property transactions in Adelaide, we cast off the marina moorings on 27 May and pointed the bow for the half day sail to Bundaberg on the Burnett River. It has a significant lighthouse at the entrance that welcomed us but unfortunately the marina is a long way from town. We also discovered when we arrived that it was a public holiday (show day) so the town had shut up shop and no buses were running! Undeterred, we hired a car and set off for the Bundy Rum factory where Peta met the Bear and I took to the bottle. A quick walk around town found a business advisory service I remembered and then we set off for the Botanic gardens, only to find the restaurant and aviation museum closed too. A fast but quick trip to what appeared to be a lovely town but now it's time to keep moving north.
