The Australian Sugar Cane Railway is a must for any history or train buff visiting Bundaberg, in fact it's a great experience for young and old alike. This beautifully looked after steam train journeys right around the beautiful Bundaberg Botanical Gardens and through the train workshop. Hats off to the amazing crew as well. Fantastic experience. $5.00 for adults (cash only!).

Learn about camels and how farm is putting them to productive use rather than culling them in the wild and left to rot in the open. Educational, fun for the whole family, unique food and great skin care range to shop too. A great way to support this local buisness and its future economic potential to QLD.

We had a group of 20 and booked out Sidetrax on New Years Eve in the afternoon. Nearly 2 weeks later and we are still talking about how much fun we had that afternoon. The staff, track and go karts were excellent, and the ages in our group ranged from 12 to 55 and we all had a ball. Thanks to the staff for looking after our group, we’ll be back for sure.

I went with a group of 5 adults and 6 kids. The website says 8 years and older is the recommended age and we agree as even our 10yo got a bit scared at one point. Lots of flashing lights which can make some people dizzy and there's moving/wobbly floor as well. Overall it's a fun experience.
