Hervey Bay - Gateway to Fraser Island
Fraser Island is a must see for travellers to the East Coast of Australia. The major decision to be made is from where to approach the island. Hervey Bay has served as the Gateway to Fraser Island since the beginning of its tourism industry.
Three hours north of Brisbane, Hervey Bay enjoys one of the best year round climates in the world. This coupled with the 20km of absolute beachfront, attracts thousands of visitors each year. This friendly, tidy city offers a diverse range of activities for the traveler from restaurants, bars and cafes, to nature exhibits and adventure activities.
The Fraser Venture barge from Hervey Bay will take you to Wanggoolba Creek, a short drive on the sand inland tracks from the historic Central Station.
For the adventure seeker or the budget conscious alike, the candidates for the "Gateway to Fraser" tag speak for themselves. Hervey Bay is not only the Gateway to Fraser Island but also a destination in itself. So come, stay and play in the city that is the best-kept secret on the Queensland coast -- Hervey Bay.
