The regional markets of central Queensland have begun to see some long-awaited growth in recent quarters and the town of Bundaberg has been no exception.

A sugar and industrial town on the Burnett River, Bundaberg is most well known for Bundaberg rum but offers residents and visitors a lot more.

More than 46,000 people live in Bundaberg and the town services a district of 120,000 located at the southern tip of the Great Barrier Reef.

Bundaberg's major industries comprise facets of the sugar industry including distilling and cane harvester manufacturing; project engineering management, small crops, forestry, livestock, agriculture, fishing and marine, food and beverages, construction, plastics, light aircraft manufacturing, metal casting, machining and tourism.

Bundaberg Real Estate has not escaped the recent boom but properties are generally still very affordable with the average price for houses from $280 - $380,000 depending on age and location. Beachside properties and acreage are also popular.
