Munduberra

Munduberra for those that don't know, is a citrus growing area in what is called the North Burnett region, it's about 200 kls due west of Bundaberg situated on the Burnett River. Although Citrus is considered the primary product produced in the are, beef cattle, pecan nuts and stone fruit are also well represented. I believe the population of Munduberra is just over 2000 under normal conditions but from April until Sept there is a huge influx of itinerant workers mainly fruit pickers that decend on the place, the majority seem to stay in caravan parks and many of them are young Koreans. According to reports they all seem pretty well behaved.
We are staying at the Three Rivers Caravan Park for a couple of nights, for no particular reason as there isn't much to see or do here, but there was great excitment and anticipation in town when we arrived as the annual fishing comp was being held this weekend, so we sauntered along to the 1130am weigh in on Saturday for a looksee but can't say fresh water fishing is inspirational, they look horrible and smell as bad, at least I think it was the fish.
While I made a potential life changing investment in the local news agents Nancy checked out the local IGA supermarket, God she's got to get a life.
Munduberras main street is a couple of hundred metres long and like a lot of country towns, very wide with roadside and centre parking, it has a variety of small shops that cater for the local community. The place must be dead in the off season.
Three Rivers Caravan Park is very well set out with wide concrete roads, large sites with hedgerows, concrete pads for vans and annexes, large ablusion block, plenty of hot water, good pressure and very clean and tidy, without a doubt would have to be the best CP we have stopped in. tomorrow we are heading to Monto and on to Cania Gorge.
