The Region
The guide was updated:
The Fraser Coast Region in the Wide Bay–Burnett region of Queensland offers an amazing diversity, from the stunning Fraser Island to Hervey Bay and the Great Barrier Reef — these are just some of the world-class attraction that attracts visitors to the region every year. Experience the iconic Australian landscape, including World Heritage listed natural wonder, amazing coastline, tranquil hinterland and ancient rain-forests.
The region is located about 250 kilometres north of Brisbane and centred on the twin cities of Hervey Bay and Maryborough but also includes Fraser Island. It was in fact not until March 2008 when the City of Hervey Bay merged with the City of Maryborough, Shire of Woocoo and part of Tiaro to form the Fraser Coast Regional Council. But the name came into common use in the early 90s from a combination of Fraser Island and Cooloola Coast.
Whether you are after a calm sun and sea holiday or a more active holiday, Fraser Coast offers the best of both worlds.
