The Ginger Factory
The Ginger Factory Review
The Ginger Factory, a legendary Queensland establishment, goes far beyond its original factory-door sale of ginger. You can still take a 40-minute guided tour of the world's only publically accessible ginger processing plant. A cafe and shop sell ginger in all forms—incorporated into jams, cookies, chocolates, ice cream, wine, and herbal products. There's a train trip and a boat ride, both with animated puppetry en route, and a live beehive tour that includes a honey tasting. You can even take cooking classes.
