Hervey
Bay - Business & Vitality Hervey Bay has often been called the jewel
in Queensland’s crown
A comfortable three
and a half hour drive (300km) north of Brisbane and only 45 minutes
by air from Queensland’s capital. Situated on Latitude 25 degrees South,
Longitude 153 degrees East, Hervay Bay spans some sixty kilometres of
water frontage.
To its north the Tropic of Capricorn passes through Rockhampton (Latitude
23 degrees 23 minutes South) so the city is blessed with a wonderful
sub tropical climate.
Located at the southern tip of Australia’s famous Great Barrier Reef,
this charming city enjoys fresh clean air, wonderful beaches and parks.
Some 600 acres of coral may be viewed and explored just offshore from
the Urangan Harbour Hervey Bay’s urban aresa stretch from Gataker’s
Bay in the north to River Heads in the south east, encompassing the
suburbs of Point and Urangan. Lying parallel to Hervay Bay on its east
side,
Fraser Island enjoys World Heritage Listing for its environmental significance
and the natural beauty of its beaches, rainforests and lakes. Hervay
Bay offers an idyllic lifestyle and extensive safe beaches and parks.
It is considered to be Queensland’s most preferred family holiday destination.
Its reputation as the whale capital of the world is enhanced by a pristine
marine environment and expansive sheltered waters.
