Hervey Bay travel guide

Australia · Top sights · trending spots

Hervey Bay faces K'gari, the largest sand island in the world at a hundred and twenty kilometres long — rainforest growing on dune, freshwater lakes perched above sea level, and no sealed roads at all.

Lake McKenzie's sand is pure white silica and the Maheno has been rusting on the beach since a cyclone put it there in 1935. Humpbacks stop in the bay to rest with their calves between July and November.

Top 4 sights in Hervey Bay

Ranked by Wikipedia language editions — proven fame.

  1. 1

    Great Sandy National Park

    A coastal national park on the Queensland shore opposite Hervey Bay, taking in the sand island of K'gari and the Cooloola section on the mainland. Between them they hold perched lakes, coloured sand cliffs and long surf beaches.

  2. 2

    Mary River

    A river running north through southeast Queensland to the sea at Hervey Bay, unusual in this state for its direction. It holds three endangered species found nowhere else, among them the Mary River turtle, which breathes partly through its tail.

  3. 3

    Susan River

    A tidal river running into the Great Sandy Strait south of Hervey Bay, its lower reaches lined with mangrove that nurses fish and mud crabs. A conservation park of the same name protects part of the estuary.

  4. 4

    Poona National Park

    A small national park on the Fraser Coast protecting coastal wallum heath and a stretch of shoreline opposite Fraser Island, with threatened plants and a wildlife refuge status rather than visitor facilities.
