Bargara (and Mon Repos Environmental Park)
Attractive seaside holiday resort east of Bundaberg.
Some 13 km east of Bundaberg and 384 km north of Brisbane is the pleasant seaside holiday resort of Bargara. This is a town geared to the tourist trade. The road which runs along the coast - The Esplanade, Miller Street and Woongarra Scenic Drive - is now a near-continuous strip of holiday homes, flats, apartments and motels all built between the beach and the hinterland.
However, while modern Bargara may appear to be no more than a holiday town, to the observant visitor the area offers some fascinating insights into the lives of the South Pacific Kanakas who worked the local canefields.
