BARGARA: Put yourself in this picture.
It's late afternoon. Couples stroll hand in hand along the foreshore pathway. Down on the beach another couple shares fish and chips while they watch the lazy swells of the Pacific Ocean.
Prize winning play areas are alive with happy sounds of children learning while they have fun.
The aroma of evening meals being prepared by award winning chefs mingles with the rich aroma of coffee and the fresh salt tang in the air.
Tomorrow there'll be round of golf (or two). Maybe you'll try the surf. Or the shops and galleries. Get the feel of the place on one of those bus tours, maybe go bush in a four wheel drive. You can finish off with a visit to a winery and a quick dinner at a beach side bistro before heading off to the club - or a show in town.
This is not the Gold Coast. It's not Noosa. But it is a chance to discover the Pacific at its most peaceful and interesting. This is Bargara.
So welcome. Take it easy. Live the dream. At Bargara there are plenty of ways to discover how wonderful life can be.

Bundaberg region embraces the southern most end of the Great Barrier Reef, one of the World's best known natural wonders. As a result the region is able to offer the best of both surf and reef environments - having the most northern surf beach on the east coast (at Agnes Water) as well as coral formations near Bargara that are accessible simply by stepping off the beach.
Bundaberg waters offer an opportunity for beginners to try out their fins as well as dives recommended strictly for experts.
If you're new to diving and want to try, then Bundaberg is the best place to start. Not only does the beach and the reef offer perfect conditions for learning but local dive centres with PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) certified dive instructors are available to teach you all you need to know.
And if you want to try something more advanced, then they can give you advice on that too.
