The BEST Eco-tourism in Fraser Coast QLD

Hervey Bay is also the gateway to World Heritage-listed K’gari (formally Fraser Island), and Lady Elliot Island on the southern Great Barrier Reef. It is also uniquely home to the world’s first Whale Heritage Site – the only place where thousands of Humpback Whales stop during their migration between July and October to rest, socialise and play with their calves in the warm shallow waters of Hervey Bay and K’gari. Hervey Bay truly is Australia’s Capital for Whale Watching.
