Migrating to Hervey Bay

We leave Noosa behind and migrate up the coast to Hervey Bay, famous for a great hump back whale migration in the cooler months between June and September. Whale watching is all the buzz during winter but for now, travellers are fewer and use Hervey Bay primarily to catch the Ferry across to Fraser Island. That’s our plan for tomorrow as we gear up for a 4WD adventure.

DRIVE: Noosa to Hervey Bay (178km).

CAMP: Ingenia Holidays Hervey Bay. We have set up here for three nights, but will spend night two slumming it in our tent on Fraser Island.

We spot a pirate ship off the shores, apparently a couple live on the ship and sail these waters and offer tours of the bay.Read more
