Introduction
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.
