It doesn’t matter if you are travelling on your own, if you are a backpacker on a budget, a father looking for your family’s next vacation spot, or a business owner wanting to take your employees on an outing, Hervey Bay is definitely a good choice. This city north of Brisbane in Queensland, Australia is located between the mainland and the highly popular Fraser Island. It is ideal for people who love nature and the water but is still a great option for just getting away for that odd weekend and blending in with the locals.

This city takes pride in being known as the jewel in the crown of the state of Queensland. It also takes great pride in being called the Whale Watch Capital of the World. It is highly accessible and the locals are warm, friendly, and welcoming. Many travellers opt to rent a car or even a caravan in order to get to Hervey Bay, which is a good idea as there are so many things to see and experience in the city.
