Hervey Bay Hostels - Reviews and Rates

Heute hieß es, vor der Fahrt nach Norden nochmal nach Brisbane in die Innenstadt zu gehen, um einen Koffer zu kaufen, den wir gestern abend schon gesehen hatten (da Illy's Koffer ja schlapp macht). Illy hatte extra nach den Öffnungszeiten gefragt und erfahren, dass der Laden um 9 Uhr öffnet. Wir sind also gemütlich in die Innenstadt gelaufen und...

Hervey Bay and Frase Island

As it is school holiday at the moment I had some difficulty finding a place to stay in Hervey bay but finally managed to get a pitch on a big 4 site just out of the town at point Vernon. I was disappointed on arrival to find that the pitches were very close together and all had concrete pads designed for carava...

Our next stop on the road north was Hervey Bay. Predominantly a retirement town, Hervey Bay has received the dubious honour of being referred to as "God's waiting room". It’s also the most popular jumping off point for the idyllic Fraser Island, more about which later.

Soon after disembarking the Greyhound, we checked into the rathe...

8:45 pm, Hostel lobby

Today was definitely a day in transition. Left Noosa around 1 pm and met 3 nice Canadian girls. Was nice to have that familiarity for the 5-hour bus ride to Hervey Bay. I've been craving Tim Horton's so much since I left Canada - which is weird because I don't drink it much to begin with! I guess sometimes we want wh...

150209 Am Morgen habe ich meinen Mietwagen in Empfang genommen und bin dann mit Joe und Ross (2 Englaender) die Kueste runter nach Harvey Bay gefahren. Ein bis zwei kleine Zwischenstops + inklusivem Umweg erreichten wir dann nach ca. 12 Stunden auch Harvey Bay gegen 22:00 Uhr wo wir dann im Hostel ebenfalls the Beaches uebernachteten. Dieses war...

HERVEY BAY Sun 8/6 - Fri 12/6 An easy drive to Hervey Bay and no roadwork! It is unbelievable the amount of roadwork going on in Queensland and it started at Buledelah. A great caravan park again and we had the van and annex up in no time - so easy when it is not pouring. The park is about 200m from The Esplanade so we have been doing a lot of w...

They friggin well were.....!!!!! Yep I had little or no incentive to come to this town. For most backpackers its merely a jumping off point for the essential 3-day trip to Fraser Island. But for me I was there on a red-hot tip-off from random traveller folk. OK, so i took a detour and got checked-in in Hervey bay. Actually me reasons were two-fo...

Hey there! We've just returned from the fabulous Fraser Island tour! We booked through Beaches after advice from fellow backpackers, which I'd like to pass on - they're fab! They have only one advantage over their competitors that I know of, but it's a big one: they have a permanent base camp on Fraser Island so you have all the amenities you co...

As if waking from a horrendous nightmare, I'm relieved to hear the gentle lapping of the waves onto the beach of Hervey Bay. Yes, the nightmare is over. We have survived the Bundaberg experience. Affectionately dubbed Bundy, the home of Bert Winkler, whoever that is. If you ask me, "Bundy, the armpit of the world", is more like it. My body is br...

Started our G.A.P. (Intrepid) tour today. Had a bit of fun getting out of the city... Stopped in Noosa Heads for the afternoon. It's a very cute little town with lots of shops and restaurants. Our tour guide, Sarah says it's very 'posh'. The beach here is very pretty, and the waves are much softer than in Surfers Paradise. We both went in for a ...
