Description

For a taste of a quintessential Queenslander home for which Bundaberg is well known, head to Fairymead House Sugar History Museum. Built by sugar cane pioneers, the Young family of the Fairymead Sugar Mill and Plantation, these days it’s a Sugar History Museum with items donated by local cane farming families and icons in the Bundaberg community. Here, you’ll learn about the process of producing sugar, from cane to crystal.
