Hervey Bay
Hervey Bay is well known for its whale spotting opportunities. However, there is so much more to Hervey Bay than just whales!
With its mild climate, calm waters and proximity to Fraser Island; it’s actually a fantastic place to spend a few days (or weeks) with the family.
I should know, I grew up here myself and I love it so much I am raising my own kids here!
