Hervey Bay isn't a particularly interesting place in it's own right - but it is a particularly useful jumping off point for two big attractions:

  • Whale Watching tours and;
  • Fraser Island, the world's largest sand island

The presence of these 2 nearby backpacker attractions has led to a range of budget accommodation options being available. The official YHA option, Colonial Village, is a safe bet and is particularly close to the port.
