Hervey Bay, Whale Watching, Fraser Island, and The Great Barrier Reef

The region is situated in south eastern Queensland about 3 hours north of Brisbane by road and is one of Australia's favourite holiday destinations.

The region has a vast array of features to enjoy including:

• Whale watching -late July to October (some of the best Humpback whale watching is experienced in Hervey Bay )
• World Heritage listed Fraser Island- enjoy the naturally beautiful rainforests, pristine lakes and wildlife on 1, 2, or 3 day 4WD tours of this largest sand island in the world. You can also see the island by hiring a four wheel drive vehicle yourself and seeing this natural wonder at you own pace.
• Coral viewing, diving and eco tours by boat.
• Day tours by flight to the Great Barrier Reef.
• Sailing trips.
• Fishing - both calm water and reef fishing are available.
• Water sports - a variety of water sports are available in Hervey Bay including parasailing and water skiing.
• Horse riding.
• The natural beauty of the Bunya Mountains and the hinterland.

Plenty of good value accommodation is available throughout the region at most times of the year. The whale watching season can cause shortages of accommodation, so it is wise to book early should you plan to be in Hervey Bay at that time.

The styles of accommodation are quite varied and include caravan parks, backpacker hostels, motels , holiday units and luxury resorts. The region is now becoming a popular destination for seminars because of the increased facilities in this area and beauty of the locations.

There are an abundance of sporting and recreational clubs in the region and all welcome members and guests.

As the Fraser Coast is a popular area with investors we have also included a business and real estate investment section.
