Bourbong Street Bundaberg is the main strip of the town, the CBD, with two story buildings lining both sides of the street. Busy shop fronts occupy the ground floors with their signage layered over the early 1900s buildings that still stand beneath them. The upper stories, however, are rich in their original architecture, embellished with gorgeous arch windows.

Fossicking through the history held in antique shops is one of my favourite things to do. In late November of 2021 my partner and I started in Peregian then drove along the coast to Noosa, looking through all of the antique stores we could find on Apple Maps. I always try to find the shelf with the old cameras, many of which are retired paperweights – perhaps fixable but I can never know.
