Fraser Coast

The Fraser Coast Region in the Wide Bay–Burnett area 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 attractions that draw visitors. Experience the iconic Australian landscape, including World Heritage-listed natural wonders, a spectacular coastline, tranquil hinterland, and ancient rainforests. Located about 250 kilometres north of Brisbane, the region is centred around the twin cities of Hervey Bay and Maryborough, and also includes Fraser Island, known officially by its traditional name K'gari. The name came into common use in the early 90s from a combination of Fraser Island and Cooloola Coast. It was not until March 2008 that 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. Whether you seek a relaxing sun-and-sea holiday or a more active adventure, the Fraser Coast offers the best of both worlds.
