Diving in Lady Musgrave & Bunker Group
Lady Musgrave is a coral cay with a navigable lagoon in the Bunker Group, day-tripped from Bundaberg and 1770 and used by liveaboards and campers. The outer reef has manta cleaning stations, coral bommies, turtles and reef sharks in 20 m-plus visibility; the lagoon is a gentle snorkel and training site.
