ON TOMORROW

🌈 RAINBOW DAY 2026 – A morning of fun for our youngest community members! 🌈
Did you know Rainbow Day takes its name from the Bundaberg Child Protection Week Action Group's colourful rainbow lorikeet mascot, Sunny? 🦜🌈 For many years, Sunny has helped share an important message with local families – that protecting children is everybody's business.
As part of Queensland Child Protection Week, Rainbow Day is a much-loved Bundaberg community event that brings together children under 5, their families and local support services for a morning of fun, connection and learning.

📅 Friday 11 September 2026
⏰ 9:00 am – 12:00 pm
📍 Bundaberg PCYC, 1 Civic Avenue, Bundaberg

Come along and enjoy:
🎨 Free children's activities
🏰 Jumping castle
🌭 Free sausage sizzle
🤝 Meet local community organisations and discover the support available for families
😊 Plenty of fun for the whole family

This is a FREE event and everyone is welcome.

We'd love to see you there as we celebrate our children, support local families and strengthen the connections that help keep kids safe.

💙 Protecting children is everybody's business.

🎺🚂 SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT! 🚂🎺

For the first time, Bundaberg Municipal Band is taking its music on the move, literally!

On Sunday 13 September from 12pm–1pm, members of bundy.brass will climb aboard the Australian Sugar Cane Railway and play live music as the train makes its way around the Bundaberg Botanic Gardens! 🎶🌿

What a fun way to spend a Sunday lunchtime!

🥪 Pack a picnic and find yourself a beautiful shady spot around the gardens
☕ Grab lunch or a coffee at Café 1928
🌳 Settle in, relax and listen as Bundy Brass passes by on their laps of the gardens
🚂 And enjoy one of Bundaberg’s much-loved attractions doing something completely new!

There should be plenty of lovely spots along the railway route to hear and see them as they go past.

A big shout-out to the Australian Sugar Cane Railway for getting behind this unique idea and helping make it happen. 👏

📍 Bundaberg Botanic Gardens
📅 Sunday 13 September
