Once a month the oval by the highway hosts a country market. The "sizzle" is worth the $ not to mention that is right next to a lovely cutting to have lunch, the local pub with fantastic meals and a little cafe style eatery with your healthy options. The bird park listed in this guide is just up the road so if your timing is right you could easily make a day of it. Located Bundaberg side of Childers. If you prefer, Childers has several cafes and pubs renowned for their food. Just about 5 to 10 mins further up the highway.

Held every Sunday this is a smaller market with a very good fruit and veg stall. Gin Gin is about an hour out of Bundaberg but worth the drive for a day trip. The best butcher around is hiding right here, in a back street. Just ask a local, they'll direct you! Gin Gin has an impressive emporium on the corner of the main street. Lose yourself for an hour browsing in there then enjoy a coffee and light lunch on the beautifully kept lawns by the river. Be sure to stick your head into the little boutiques. Nice to be able to buy clothing with more style than the usual variety stores.
