A little about Hervey Bay

This picturesque town was originally founded by Captain James Cook in 1770 and is named after Cook’s boss, Lord Augustus Hervey, who was an admiral of The Blue. At the time they did not know that Fraser Island was a separate land.

In the 1980s, Hervey bay was a major transportation point for the Port of of Maryborough which boosted the transportation of sugar cane in the region. The rail line ran from Aldershot to Takura, from Nikenbah to Pialba and Urangan.

The neighboring towns in the area include Maryborough, Bundaberg, Woodgate and Childrers which is a one-hour’s  drive from Hervey bay.

 The Fraser coast region is not only popular  as a beach destination but is also home to a healthy growth of sugar cane. Each year, Hervey Bay, Maryborough and Bundaberg have a plentiful harvest of sugar cane giving the economy and job industry in Fraser Coast a tremendous boost.

All this history makes hervey bay a great place for an education holiday as well. Families are seen all year around staying at some of the best resort hervey bay, so that they can learn a little more about what hervey bay has to offer and its history than laze around on the beach.

Once a fishing village, in 1984, Hervey bay earned the status of being called a city due to its growth continuously in business, tourism and the economy. Once called a seaside village is now called a city. Due to the popularity of the city several business entities and franchise started setting up their shops and business here with plenty of shopping centers and attractions, around to make it a fully-fledged tourist destination.

Apart from tourist visiting this area, many residents too have relocated their homes and business to this wonderful city. Apart from being a good tourist destination hervey bay was also voted as a good city to move to by families as the people relocating to this place was alarmingly high.

Fraser Island and Hervey bay is known as the whale capital in Australia. Therefore it is not surprising as to why so many tourist flock here and so many want to relocate and build a new life and a future for themselves in this places due to its pleasant lifestyle and unspoilt beaches and wonderful sites.  I don’t think Captain Cook ever realized that his discovery will be a ‘gold-mine’ in the future.
