About Mon Repos
Mon Repos is a coastal locality in the Bundaberg Region of south-east Queensland, situated on the coast approximately 13 kilometres north-east of Bundaberg. The locality is best known for the Mon Repos Conservation Park, one of the most significant turtle nesting sites in the South Pacific, and the Mon Repos Turtle Centre built in 2019 for research and education. The name is French for "My Rest" from the homestead built in 1884 by sugar pioneer Augustus Barton, and the site also has connections to pioneer aviator Bert Hinkler who launched gliders on the beach in 1912.
