Queensland’s Fraser Coast is located amidst some of Australia’s most famed natural attractions, with visitors coming from near and far to experience the Great Barrier Reef, Fraser Island, the hinterland rainforests, and the unique local culture that has developed around them.
Visitors enjoy swimming, surfing and snorkelling at the many stunning local beaches, and also have the opportunity to dive at specified dive sights. Other local attractions and activities include bird watching, visiting historical sites such as the Maryboroughs Gun, local museums and galleries, or experiencing the range of health and wellbeing services on offer in the region.
From July to November, Hervey Bay is a particularly popular area, drawing visitors to the coast to watch the whales that make the bay their playground over the winter and spring months. Guests enjoy whale watching cruises, or visiting local lookouts where whales can be seen breaching. Other peak periods include the summer months, particularly throughout school holiday weeks.
Visitors from Brisbane and Sydney can reach the area directly via flights to Hervey Bay Airport, while other domestic and international visitors can fly into Brisbane airport and catch a connecting flight.
