Stayed in Bundaberg but didn’t visit the rum distillery this time as we have been there before.

Went to Bargara for a swim the last time we were here was for the kid’s cross country competition years ago. Lovely little town. I visited Mon Repos and watched the film show. They are doing lots of research here. Apparently with global warming more and more of the turtles will be female as the temperature of the sand determines the sex of the turtle. So, they have this watering system where they are researching how much water is required to cool the sand enough to produce male turtles. They also have shaded areas set up to reduce the temp. I walked down to the beach, and you could see the turtle tracks of the females who had come onto the beach the previous evening. Loved their Christmas decorations in Bargara lots of turtles with Santa hats.
