There are 300 metres of walking tracks in a rainforest setting with Australian native, Asiatic and South American birds. We continue on heading for Bundaberg for a spooky experience and lunch at the Mystery Craters. Our afternoon is spent at the Bundaberg Rum Distillery where you will smell and taste your way through the rum production progress. You’ll enjoy a video presentation, extensive tour, personal sampling, historical displays and opportunity to purchase merchandise and some unique souvenirs. Our afternoon takes us home via the township of Childers. Tonight we join 'Mary Christmas' to tour the fabulous display of Maryborough’s Christmas lights by night.

An adventure on the bay awaits us today as we board Whalesong Cruises for the Dolphin Watch Cruise.
