As a lover of museums I found this lovely treasure one of the best of the ones run by volunteers. The volunteers were well informed and very friendly and the museum was clean and displays well presented. Thank you for bringing back fond memories of my youth.

Thé Hinkler Hall of Aviation brightened an otherwise gloomy weathered day. Our pleasant, enthusiastic and informative Customer Service person Yvonne, provided the perfect ‘clues’ to help us navigate this wonderful example of celebration of Bundaberg’s favourite Son. The whole experience from the Interactive Displays, photographs and fascinating memorabilia to the personal interaction with Bert & Nance in Mons Repos gave us an insight way beyond our expectation. Allow plenty of time to absorb the Hall and adjoining Mons Repos - thoroughly worth a few hours to enjoy travelling back to 1928 ! Thanks D&G, Brisbane

an extremely informative museum on the production of sugar from planting through to processing including the equipment used. I may have a little of information overload, but that is OK because i will revisit next time i am in the region

The Barrel

Reviewed By spidergirl15 - Brisbane Region, Australia

We have a 9yo already addicted to ginger beer. What a great place for him to learn & experience how his fav drink is made, with interactive activities during the self guided tour, then taste testing with Marie, which included a take home pack. I now have a kid who has many more favourite flavours & a real understanding of how it is made. Add this to your list of stops in Bundaberg!
