Hervey Bay

The Great Barrier Reef
This is a top pick! The Pacific swells ain't all that swell to some on the 75-minute trip out to the island. One of the handful of crew on the Reef Jet is always snapping on a plastic glove proctologist-like and taking someone's vomit container to the back of the boat. One ...

Hervey Bay
This is a top pick! Alex: Hervey Bay was just a quick stop to break up the journey between Noosa and Airlie Beach. We didn't do very much, sat by the pool in the hostel, wandered down the beach, which when the tide was out was like Southport, with the sea along way away. We ...
Kickin' it in Hervey Bay
This is a top pick! Fraser Island was a lot of fun, but it was exhausting. I ended up spending another 4 nights in Hervey Bay just to recover from the trip and find a ride out of Hervey Bay. The only problem was that I was quickly running out of time to get up to Cairns to ...
