Hervey Bay, the gateway to Fraser Island, is situated just 300km North of Brisbane and boasts one of Australia's most equitable climates. Averaging a mild 22 C in Winter and a comfortable 29 C in Summer, Hervey Bay is one of Australia's most popular tourist spots and favoured place to live.
Each year the tropical waters off Fraser Island are a haven for our most popular visitors, the majestic Humpback whale. After breeding the huge whales and their calves pass through the warm waters to the delight of whalewatchers.
Hervey Bay has had one of Australia's highest population growth rates since the 1980s. New shopping centres, sporting facilities, public library and schools have increased to sustain the population growth.
