Don Pancho Beach Resort

Kelly's Beach is 15km east of Bundaberg. Here the Great Barrier Reef begins with corals fringing the shoreline. The two coral islands, Lady Musgrave and Lady Elliott are accessible by fast cataraman or plane. See the humpback whales (mid Aug-mid Oct) from a luxury catamaran or the giant turtles at the Turtle Rookery at Mon Repos from late November to late January. In summer, they come ashore to lay eggs and ten weeks later, tiny turtle hatchlings make their dash for the sea. Visit the famous Bundaberg Rum Distillery, Bert Hinkler Memorials, Schmeider's Cooperage.
