Hervey Bay attractions There are lots of the usual things to do in a seaside holiday area and Hervey Bay is no exception - swimming, walking, golf, fishing, boating, eating out, markets, but Hervey Bay is renowned for winter whale watching.

Carnarvon Gorge We had saved the Boolimba Bluff walk until the last day as we felt we would be well conditioned to walking by this point and it was suggested you make a very early start to see the sun shine its early rays on the rock face on the opposite side of the gorge. …
