After Fraser Island I was desperate for a drink, so I headed to Bundaberg, where Australia's finest rum is produced. Queensland is very tropical and grows a number of crops, including pineapple, bananas, and sugar cane. The rum distillery in Bundaberg came about as a way to deal with the molasses after the sugar was extracted from the surrounding crops. Ever tried molasses? It happens to be extremely bitter. Touring the rum distillery I got to see the vats where the rum is stored for two years, along with the bottling factory. And, of course, took a few tastings to go.
