Regional Tourism Stars Shine at Awards
Bundaberg’s picturesque Botanic Gardens was the perfect backdrop for some of our local operators to shine at this year’s Bundaberg, Gladstone and Capricorn Regional Tourism Awards. The awards were held on Saturday night and were an excellent opportunity to showcase the dynamic tourism industry which exists throughout the Central Queensland/Southern Great Barrier Reef region.
Successful candidate of the Best Job in the World - Ben Southall took time out from his busy schedule to enjoy the awards and participate on the night.
