QLD26 18. Burnett Heads to Bundaberg central (return)

Joanne Jones

Up to 20knots going up and down the river. Saw many wrecks and lots of damage from the March 2026 floods when the river rose over 9m. Apparently there were over 54 boats swept down the river and so far only 35 have been salvaged. Arrived up in Bundaberg to find all the public jetties and the private jetty at the rowing club have been washed away. We went into town for supplies but it was tricky as there was nowhere to leave the tender and only one of us could go ashore at a time. Apparently there is still heaps of debris in the river and am not sure we would come up here again next year.
