Museums, gardens and grand homes

As well as visiting the various Hinkler sites, we enjoyed strolling around the Bundaberg Botanical Gardens.
The grand home is Fairymead House relocated from a cane property to the Gardens.
The ducks and tortoises were treated to our leftover buns and bread.
No, we didn't genuflect before the Bundy rum shrine. Instead we opted for a tour of the Bundaberg Ginger Beer display which is set in a barrel shaped building. Very informative and interesting. We sampled some of their many brews including lemon, lime and bitters, a lovely peach drink and of course ginger beer.
We came away with a mixed 6 pack.
