Hervey Bay

Hervey Bay lies along the sheltered western waters of the Fraser Coast, with K'gari—formerly Fraser Island—forming a long sandy barrier across the bay. The city faces the Great Sandy Strait, a tidal waterway separating the mainland from the world’s largest sand island, now officially known by its Butchulla name, K'gari. From July to November, humpback whales commonly pause in these protected waters during their migration, making the bay one of Queensland’s established whale-watching centres. The historic Urangan Pier extends into the bay and recalls the area’s early role in shipping agricultural produce.
