Hervey Bay Australia, the gateway to Fraser Island. Hervey Bay has
often been called the jewel in Queensland’s crown. It is
also referred to as the Whale Watching Capital of the
World.
Hervey Bay offers a safe relaxing aquatic playground for
a short break or long restful holiday. This beautiful
location is also famous for humpback whales from August
to October every year. Hervey Bay is located approximately
300km north from Brisbane, easily accessible by car, bus
or coach service, rail and/or air travel.
Hervey Bay has a population of approximately 50,000
residents. The city has a wonderful sub tropical
climate. Generally temperatures range from 14 to 23
degrees Celcius in the winter and 22 to 29 degrees
Celcius in the summer. Our rainfall is low and we have
many more fine days than other Queensland holiday
centres.
Hervey Bay has some 60 km of water frontage. It is
located on the southern tip of the famous Great Barrier
Reef. No need to travel further north when you can visit
the Reef here. Hervey Bay has 600 acres of reef just off
shore from the Urangan Harbour.
Lying parallel to Hervey Bay on its east side is World
Heritage Listed Fraser Island with its beautiful natural
beaches, rainforests and fresh water lakes.
Cycling, restaurant dining, cinemas, beaches, clubs,
shopping centres and sporting facilities cater for
people of all age groups. Hervey Bay offers an
idyllic holiday environment. The fishing is great. Catch
a fish from the beach, the Urangan Pier or take a day
trip on a reef fishing boat.
Its reputation as the Whale Watching Capital of the
World is enhanced by a pristine marine environment and
expansive sheltered waters for the Humpback Whales.
Hervey Bay is the ideal holiday destination where you
can relax and recharge your batteries. Isn’t this what a
holiday is all about?!
