I think... Bundy is awesome. The shopping is GREAT!
Meat and Vegies are heaps cheaper than most cities and the Clothes shopping is good as well. Nice little counrty pubs, lots of nice people, Country living, yet everything you need. Some nice beaches. Bargara is very pretty and only 15-20 mins out of town. Good Schools, Hospitals ect. |

I disagree with the above but pends what you call living (i like to live comfartably/well) & it costs plenty to do that. Below the poverty line & still be considered well off WTF.

I grew up there, nice spot, I could sell my place in brisbane and buy 3 houses for the money there. or huge acerage just outa town, agree everthing is there, if you want to buy it, it's there, and then it's only 4 hours drive to brisy, When I was growing up we used to drive the old XT ute to brisy to buy stuff for the farm, I don't think that is so neccessary anymore.

Ah Bundaberg the home of the finest rum in the world, several sugar mills, lots of samll businesses, and wonderfull people
(still wonder why they go to Baraga for a holiday though, Long trip LOL) Used to rep up there and spent 1-2 nights a fortnight in the Park lane motel Oh I still remember the hangovers and trying to survive in workshops, mills, the foundry etc. Would do it all again

I do have some fond memories to say the least! I have cut more laps of Bourbong street than any other, spent countless nights sleeping down by the river, did my 1st ever pub crawl, had my 1st ever race, hrm come to think of it, lots of 1st's happened there :voldar02: I Love the place and look forward to going back again soon. Now, Apple Tree Creek pub that's a top little pub of a sunday arvo. (Well it was years ago) Comes a close 1st with the Mandurama pub. |
