Childers and Sugar Cane

Today we went to Childers, which is between here and Bundaberg, not too far away but took much longer because of stopping for ages at road works.
Childers is surrounded by sugar cane farms, sits on a bit of a hill overlooking the countryside, so would get breezes during the hot summer. Also many backpackers stay there and work on the sugar cane farms, and in 2000 someone started a fire at the backpackers, whick killed quite a lot of young people.
This old hotel is now an information centre, lovely art gallery and a memorial with photos of the young people who died.


I also found this new age shop called The end of the Rainbow, so just had to take a photo of it!
