We set out to tour the local tourist attractions: we went to the barrel where they make Bundaberg Ginger beer – the tour was good and we got to try all their drinks, and some new ones we hadn't seen before.
We visited the cooperage where they make wooden barrel kegs and the highlight of the day was a visit to the Bundy Rum distillery.
The Rum tour was good – we saw the molasses storage, barrels where they age the rum. At the end of the tour we got to try the rum - two drinks each. Yay. Lucky we didn't go on the 9.30 tour! Helen tried the Rum Crisp, a new rum and soda pre-mix drink which was very nice, and a chocolate, coffee liquor. There is apparently a game of football on tonight that Queenslanders are very excited about, and we went to Brothers Sports Club for tea. We walked back to the caravan park, and Jim went to watch the end of the footy in the Camp Kitchen and ended up trying to explain Rugby to a family from Belgium.
Lizard update: For those of you who are interested there is still no sign of the lizard. Apparently it is one of those little geckos so it should be sitting on the roof eating bugs, but we have not seen him since the first sighting. Do they make a lizard trap (you know, like a mouse trap, only for lizards)?
