Taste Mundubbera on Australia’s Country Way

Discover Mundubbera on Australia’s Country Way

THE CITRUS CAPITAL OF QUEENSLAND

After passing through the beef cattle area around Eidsvold, Mundubbera is just off Australia’s Country Way. Mundubbera is one of the largest producers of table grapes in Queensland and is famous for producing an amazing variety of fruit. Blueberries, pecans, mangoes, avocados, lychees, peaches, nectarines, watermelons, rockmelons and of course citrus – oranges and mandarins. Between April and September, the town’s population swells with an influx of pickers.

Mundubbera Butchery prides itself on its sausage, hams and wursts all made with locally sourced meat. The smell of the smokehouse wafts through the shop and we defy you not to fill up your esky.

Mundubbera Bakery and Café. A word of warning, don’t come in here if you are on a diet and weak willed. Everything in the cabinets is made on site and is mouth- watering. My personal favourite is the double high-top loaf, pull it apart and rip the soft bread out of the middle. 

Grab some meat from the butcher, bread from the baker and head off to one of the great picnic spots, perhaps down by the Burnett River. Cook your food on the barbecue, perhaps washing it down with local mandarin juice. 

Make sure that you are in town when Kels Katering has her kitchen open at the Mundubbera Bowls Club. Kel is so proud of Mundubbera produce she uses as much as she can and treats it with love and care. Freshly picked blueberries dot the muffins, local asparagus accompanies the eggs benedict, local eggs and bread of course. 

 In the citrus season just picked oranges and mandarins are available at honesty box stalls at the farm gate. Make sure you stock up.
