Bustard Head and Pancake Creek

North of Bundaberg is the idyllic Pancake Creek (strange names in Queensland) that is overshadowed by the historic lighthouse on Bustard Head. Sailing towards the lighthouse it becomes clear why this was so important in early settlement days with the offshore reefs, but when inside the creek it's a spot where you can be lost for weeks at a time. Here we met friends from further down the coast and one chilly morning we set off bush waking to the lighthouse when we came across these fantastic cobwebs covered in early morning dew. The track has now become quite overgrown but many years ago was the supply route for the light and its keepers. Emerging from the undergrowth you are welcomed by the magnificent light. A fantastic spot to lose yourself for weeks and weeks and weeks...
