Hervey Bay
Hervey Bay is one of Queensland's best natural holiday destinations offering convenient access to World Heritage listed Fraser Island - the largest sand island in the world, and Lady Elliot Island - the first coral cay on the Great Barrier Reef. Long sandy beaches and colourful communities such as Burrum Heads, Howard, Toogoom and Torbanlea fringe its safe sheltered waters. Hervey Bay boasts an aquatic environment which features coral and artificial reefs all teeming with abundant marine life. Whalewatching is a must between August and October. Boating and fishing enthusiasts will find the estuary, beach, jetty or reef and game fishing.
Fraser Island
Located just off the coast from Hervey Bay, World Heritage listed Fraser Island will leave you feeling charmed and captivated. Spanning 124 kilometres and covering an area of 163 000 hectares, Fraser Island is the largest sand island in the world and the only place on the planet where rainforest grows from sand.
Maryborough
Maryborough City is strategically placed in the centre of the Wide Bay Burnett Region. The City is a comfortable three hour drive from Brisbane via the Bruce Highway and is serviced daily by air and electric train.
Maryborough is widely recognised for the abundance of colonial and Queenslander homes but it is the majestic public buildings and beautiful gardens, both private and public, which accurately reflect the graceful lifestyle of a bygone era.
