Hervey Bay Museum is a wonderful collection of buildings and other exhibits that tell the story of the first settlers in the area, and how they lived. I needed every minute of the 3.5 hours I spent there to explore it. It has a great...MoreThanks for the great review Debbie. It's a bit like the Tardis, bigger on the inside than the outside.

Fraser Island

Reviewed By Peter H - Sunshine Coast, Australia

Did a day trip from River Heads to the Island, then a 4WD tour. Had a fantastic day, saw all the sights. Love the crystal clear lakes and streams and the wreck of the Maheno on the Beach is truly impressive. Thoroughly recommended.

Esplanade

Reviewed By Angie W - Hervey Bay, Australia

Where else can you walk continuously in the one direction overlooking the ocean, moving in and out of the trees, passing Playgrounds, picnic / barbecue areas, cafes, restaurants, and ice creameries? Not to mention the safe Beaches for miles and miles. For the fitness focussed there's beachfront tennis court, hire bikes & surrey bikes (look it up!) and free exercise equipment.

The Urangan Pier is a must to walk along while in Hervey Bay. An 800m long wooden pier/jetty that is very easy to walk along or go fishing off. Fantastic views also !!!!!

Reefworld Aquarium and Shark Swim

Reviewed By ROA771

A small but really nice setup, highlight has to be the Turtle feeding which is at no extra cost and is a really unique experience. Tour of the place was really interesting throughout, with some interesting still exhibits on the walls too. Really impressive place, especially if you like your marine life!
