Hervey bay is approximately 300 kilometres north of Brisbane, Queensland’s capital city. It is easily accessible by road, rail and daily flights with Jetstar and Virgin Blue flying out daily from Hervey bay to Sydney.
Captain james cook first sighted the Hervey bay area in 1770. Rounding Sandy Cape, and initially believing fraser island was joined to the mainland, cook proclaimed the area “hervey’s bay” after Augustus Hervey, Lord of the Admiralty.
Hervey bay is a unique environment. It is the gateway to World Heritage listed Fraser Island, the largest sand island in the world, and the Great Sandy Strait, recognised as a Wetland of international Importance (Ramsar Site). Hervey bay enjoys an amazing array of fauna including water and land dwelling birds, the endangered grey headed flying fox, koalas, dugong, turtles and of course the magnificent humpback whales from july to November.
