Hervey Bay.
Hervey Bay is situated 3 hours drive or 45min flight time north
of Brisbane; there are also daily flights from Sydney taking
75 min.
It has a population of 52,000 people.
It was originally made up of five small towns (Urangan, Torquay,
Scarness, Pialba and Point Vernon) that were settled as holiday
camps for people from Maryborough and the outlying areas. These
five towns form the suburban centres for Hervey Bay, now that
the place has grown to the point where the original villages
have merged with each other.
The town is strung along 14 klms of sweeping, un spoilt beach.
The sea is safe and without surf, being sheltered by Fraser
Island.
