Hervey Bay has often been called the Jewel in Queensland’s Crown. Hervey Bay is part of the Fraser Coast, which boasts the world’s most sought-after natural experiences, including the infamous Fraser Island and is known as the gateway to Queensland’s world famous sub-tropics. It is also referred to as the Whale Watch Capital of the World.

Only 250km north of Brisbane with direct flights from Brisbane (45 minutes) and Sydney (1 hour and 20 minutes), Hervey Bay is an easily accessible holiday destination. The Fraser Coast region has direct access by road, rail and air to major domestic centres including resource sectors to the west and north.
