Hervey Bay Overview

Hervey Bay is a city in Queensland, Australia. The city is situated approximately 290 kilometres (180 mi) north of the state capital, Brisbane, and lies on the coast of a natural bay between the Queensland mainland and nearby Fraser Island. The local economy relies on tourism, for which whale watching, Fraser Island and Lady Elliot Island and Hervey Bay's calm beaches are the major drawcards. In 2008, Hervey Bay was the fastest growing statistical division in the country.

Public Transport

Hervey Bay is situated approximately 3½ hours drive north of Brisbane, via the Bruce Highway and 30 minutes drive north-east of Maryborough. The city is also serviced by the high speed Tilt Train which has connections from Maryborough West or nearby Howard. The city is served by the Hervey Bay Airport, with direct flights from Brisbane (QantasLink) and Sydney (Virgin Australia). The City of Hervey Bay (now the Fraser Coast Region) has released an Airport Master Plan which includes future provisioning of a taxiway parallel to the main runway, a 900-metre (980 yd) cross runway, additional car parking facilities and larger terminal. The city is also served by passenger ferry to Fraser Island, as well as both scheduled and unscheduled vehicle Ferrys.

History

The first recorded sighting of Hervey Bay was made by James Cook while carrying out his running survey of the east coast of Australia, on the 22 May 1770. "By noon Cook's ship was in a position a little over half-way across the opening of Hervey Bay heading for Bundaberg. Cook named the bay "Hervey's Bay" after Augustus John Hervey (1724 - 1779), later Third Earl of Bristol, a naval officer who became a Lord of the Admiralty the year Endeavour returned". Until around the mid 80's the area was serviced by a rail link from the Main North Coast line that diverted from Aldershot and went through Takura, Walligan, Nikenbah then on to Pialba and Urangan. The line was a major freight point for the Port of Maryborough and for the sugar cane industry until road transport assumed the role.
