The Fraser Coast South Burnett region boasts some of the best-known attractions in Queensland.
Hervey Bay is internationally recognised the whale watching capital of Australia. Its calm, protected waters make it one of the best locations to view a great variety of marine life, especially the majestic humpback whales as they make their annual southerly migration from late July to early November.
There are many whale watch operators to choose from, with modern vessels specially built to provide an up close and personal view of these amazing creatures as they play alongside.
Hervey Bay is also the gateway to Fraser Island, the largest sand island in the world and the only place on the planet where rainforest grows on sand. Its abundant pristine fresh water lakes and crystal clear creeks are great spots to view unique flora and fauna and also provide a welcome oasis on hot summer days.
Fraser Island is accessible by 4WD vehicle only, and a permit must be obtained prior to arrival on the island. 4WDs can be hired in Hervey Bay, or take 1, 2 or 3 day guided tour. For the maximum experience, take a scenic flight across to the island and land on the beach!
Maryborough is often referred to as the heritage city, playing an important role in the early settlement of immigrants to the state. The streets are lined with classic old Queenslander homes, and the Maryborough Heritage Gateway precinct in Wharf Street reflects the magnificent architecture of the 1850s. Take a cruise along the Mary River or a free walking tour with Mary Heritage to learn more about the history of this majestic town.
The South Burnett is one of Australia's newest wine producing regions, already winning many awards. Wine buffs will enjoy exploring the vineyards along the South Burnett Wine and Gourmet Trail, giving ample opportunity to taste the fine wines and cuisine of the region.
