Bundaberg

Bundaberg, or Bundy as the locals call it, is a smallish town (to someone from Brisbane anyway) of 100,000 people. 

'The area lays claim to the internationally renowned Southern Great Barrier Reef, Mon Repos Turtle Rookery, Bundaberg Rum, and the famous aviator Bert Hinkler.' - Taken from Bundaberg Government Website

After moving here for Jossy's final year of medicine, we are beginning to settle in nicely. Whilst actually finding a house was very painful with unhelpful real estate agents, the house we ended up with is absolutely fantastic. We are living just 10 minutes from the beach, and 5 minutes from town. Traffic definitely isn't an issue here, our biggest dilemma is deciding whether to drive to the shops 5 minutes away or the better ones on the other side of town (10 minutes away) - a very hard life! Contrary to my initial opinion, we are really loving Bundy. It has a laid back and friendly lifestyle that really appeals to me. I enjoy the quietness and community feel it has.

We haven't yet done much sight seeing, but we have spent plenty of time at the beach. Sunset is my favourite time of day to be at the beach, and Jossy's too given that means he doesn't get sunburnt!

Despite the beauty of beach sunsets, we do occasionally venture down earlier to refresh ourselves after the few hot days we've had here. 

On the odd occasion the beach is ordinary we take the opportunity to skim some rocks!

Unfortunately the beach still isn't doing much for Jossy's tan :P

We are looking forward to many more adventures up here exploring our new town!
