Where Nature Comes Alive
Welcome to the Fraser Coast. Only
one stretch of Queensland’s treasured
coastline unites two of the world’s most
precious natural wonders. Only one place
offers the opportunity to get closer to
nature than you have ever been before.
Only one place where nature comes alive.
Fraser Island
Where Nature Amazes
World Heritage listed Fraser Island is
nature at its awe-inspiring best. It’s the
largest sand island in the world, and
one of the rare places where towering
Hervey Bay
Where Whales Stay & Play
From July to November set your course
for Hervey Bay - the world’s best whale
watching spot. It’s the only place
where you can get up-close to majestic
humpbacks as they break their southern
Antarctic journey to rest, feed and frolic
in the warm, calm waters between
Hervey Bay and World Heritage listed
Fraser Island.
Humpbacks are natural entertainers,
and appear to be as interested in us
as we are in them. Bobbing out of the
water to ‘spy’ watchers is a common
behaviour – along with the ‘blow’,
tail slapping, waving and slapping
their pectoral fins, and best of all, the
spectacular ‘breach’- a whale propels
itself out of the water with ease and
comes crashing down almost in slow
motion - the most prized of subjects for
every photographer. A close encounter
with a humpback whale is an intimate
and humbling experience – many people
comment on the profound effect it has
on them. It’s definitely something you
have to experience for yourself to truly
appreciate.
of driving along 75 mile beach, Fraser
Island is a must whilst enjoying your stay
on the Fraser Coast.
Maryborough
Where Heritage Lives
If you are a history buff, take a 25
minute drive south-west of Hervey Bay
to Maryborough. As one of Australia’s
largest and busiest ports in the early
1900’s, this historic town’s rich heritage
will captivate you. Visit quaint museums
and galleries, dine in fine restaurants
and traipse the Thursday heritage
markets. Go on a steam ride, river
cruise, ghost tour or take a guided walk.
Unlock Maryborough’s fascinating past
and you’ll discover a visitor experience
like no other.
Lady Elliot Island
Where Nature Plays
subtropical rainforest grows from sand.
Fraser Island is home to crystal clear
lakes and creeks, including some of the
world’s rarest dune lakes. At 120km long
and up to 30km wide, you can never get
bored of Fraser Island. With so much
to see, and the exhilarating feeling
Lady Elliot Island is the first island of
the Great Barrier Reef, and is regarded
as one of the best diving and snorkeling
locations, famous for its unspoilt coral
reef and amazing array of spectacular
marine life. You can swim with turtles,
manta rays, a vast array of tropical fish,
and you can even watch turtles laying
and observe the hatchlings as they begin
their perilous journey into life. Only
a short scenic flight from Hervey Bay,
enjoy a day trip or stay overnight at the
island’s Eco Resort.
