Lighthouse Rock supports tourism in Bundaberg and is wholly committed to impacting positive change. We take this responsibility seriously, particularly since the pandemic has shaken our Queensland communities. Not only in Bundaberg, but also the surrounding regions.
We work proudly in support of local charity initiatives to increase exposure and funding to the area.
We are once again supporting Great Barrier Reef Legacy and the Living Coral Biobank Project initiative. Lighthouse Rock is also again supporting the work of the Sea Turtle Alliance.
We will be announcing various transport options and these will be announced on our social networking pages shortly.
General public tickets go on sale at 10.00am AEST on Wednesday, 26 November 2025 from Oztix. After two sold out years, we recommend getting in fast before they’re all gone!
Lighthouse Rock is presented by Lighthouse Presents and is supported by the Queensland Government, through Tourism and Events Queensland.
