Hervey Bay & Maryborough QLD - Location Report

WHAT
WHERE
HERVEY BAY & MARYBOROUGH

quintessential FRASER COAST

Here's an overview focused around the main towns of the Fraser Coast, Hervey Bay and Maryborough.

Situated around 290km North of Queensland’s state capital, Brisbane, the Fraser Coast and surrounds in the greater Wide Bay-Burnett region, offers a wonderful opportunity to explore and discover some of Australia’s most prized natural wonders.

With its delightfully warm climate, pristine coastline and stunning scenery, the Fraser Coast is a perfect destination for those wanting some quintessential Australian beach-life and adventures on the water.

Hervey Bay and Maryborough are just 30km, or about 20 minutes drive apart making it easy to move between the two and the road through from Brisbane provides easy access. There are also flights depending on where you're traveling from.

HERVEY BAY

A relaxed town with a population of around 63,000, is a great base to stay, explore the town itself and relax into the many beach activities and café culture right there. From here, you can access what are without a doubt, the ‘must experience’ activities and destinations. There are plenty to choose from and luckily, very well resourced information available in regional tourism sites, to help you plan exactly what you want to do.

With over 40km of pristine beaches stretching out from it, Hervey Bay is the place to experience world class fishing; boating culture; water sports of every type - and the 'laid back' vibe that can give even the most over-worked city visitor the chance to change down a few gears and totally relax. If you like fresh seafood then you're in luck too!

MARYBOROUGH

Maryborough by contrast to Hervey Bay’s salty, beach-led lifestyle,  has a lovely change of pace into a historic, heritage town that offers a wonderful insight into colonial life and industry of days gone by.  The charming old port city of Maryborough was in the mid 1800s, a thriving port town second only to Sydney as Australia’s main immigration point for thousands of new settlers who flocked here. The original wharf district has now been converted to a heritage precinct, Portside which is another ‘must see’ to add onto the list.

One claim to fame loved by the locals, is the fact that Maryborough, named for the Mary River, is the birthplace of much loved Mary Poppins author, Pamela Travers.

A good way to explore the town is a peaceful wander around the historic streets with the old homes and pubs giving a glimpse into times gone by in some part of Australian history.

DON'T MISS...

We’ve selected just two special features of the surrounding region to feature. There are so many things to choose from, including all water sports, fishing and boating, but whale watching, and of course, a trip to the iconic Fraser Island had to be top of the list.

FRASER ISLAND

World Heritage-listed Fraser Island is surely one of the Earth’s ultimate islands. The incredible beaches accessible by boat and from the stunning 120km of beach highway have to be experienced to be believed. As do the astonishing coloured sands. And as if that’s not enough, you then have the cool of the towering, ancient rainforests to walk through plus over one hundred freshwater lakes to swim in including the iconic Lake McKenzie and Lake Wabby.

Of course with all this to see, it’s ideal to dedicate at least a few days to the island. Accommodation on offer ranges from casual and low budget, right through to luxury eco lodges.

If you’re short on time however, even a day trip over from Hervey Bay will give you a taste of the beauty that is Fraser Island.

WHALE WATCHING

The Fraser Coast is recognized at the World Capital for whale watching. Seeing the magnificent humpback whales in close proximity from a boat and hearing all about them from well-educated staff is something not to be missed. There are all sorts of tours and packages to choose from so it’s worth having a browse to find one that suits your wishes.

Boats are well equipped and tours often include lunch or other refreshments. It’s a great family experience to have and a memorable one for anyone.

Don’t forget your camera!

EATING & DRINKING

Like many parts of Australia, there is a growing passion on the Fraser Coast for local, seasonal food and an emphasis on sustainable fishing and good practices for farming and looking after animals and land. It’s worth exploring seeking out the restaurants and cafes that live by these principals.

Here you can browse a comprehensive guide to cafes, restaurants and bars all over the Fraser Coast, find exactly what you want, whether it’s fine dining, chips on the wharf, or anything in between.

Farmers markets are always the places to find the best produce, artisan products, healthy food, indulgent treats and a offer a chance to interact and get to know some of the friendly locals.

This link to farming, food and produce, gives you a great overview of the locations and details for all the local markets.

This incredible, year-round warm and sunny climate, teamed with the myriad of wonderful natural experiences on both land and sea, make it a pretty appealing place to come for a few days or more. See the links provided throughout this article further information to help you choose some ideal activities for you.

Hobart - Tasmania - Location Report

WHAT

WHERE

HOBART

Hobart Harbour - Tasmania

QUINTESSENTIAL HOBART

Don’t be fooled into thinking that Tasmania, or Tassie, as it’s affectionately known, is in any way insignificant in comparison to its colossal landmass next door, being mainland Australia.

Tassie is like a highly concentrated dose of quality in one compact and highly intriguing package.

Hobart - what a city to behold.  It is ideally situated on the edge of the harbour. Houses and the centre of the city hug the coast and continue up the undulating hills behind, meaning many homes have wonderful views out over the sparkling bay. It’s easy to hark back to days when early European settlers were building houses, pubs and commercial spaces in this prime site. Many of those lovely old sandstone houses remain in Hobart so a walk around the pretty streets is essential.

In recent years, Hobart has seen a mass of high quality culinary enterprises spring forth and flourish. Food lovers, professional chefs and those passionate about farming and life on the land have found the produce that can be grown, the freedom of lifestyle and community enthusiasm for things gourmet to be magnetic.

HUNGRY?

Food really isn’t far from any experience in Hobart. The choice of cafes and restaurants is extraordinary and those wishing to experience authentic, lovingly cooked food using the best of local, seasonal produce, dairy products, meat and seafood will be delighted.

You won’t go thirsty either.  Tasmania has a highly respected wine industry with stunning vineyards dotted around the island.  Restaurants in Hobart itself are generally avid supporters of the local wine industry and very beautifully showcase Tasmanian wine, matched with food of the region.

A favourite is Garagistes, chef Luke Burgess is a master of seasonal eating and his food reflects the best of local and celebrates the essence of Tasmania.

The Urbanist has a pretty fantastic overview, follow their recommendations and then just follow your ‘food radar’ to narrow down your favourites.

For something special, check out Agrarian Kitchen. Chef and food writer, Rodney Dunn has developed a dream cooking school and farm where guests come for inspired, paddock to plate style cooking, sharing and eating. Details on their beautiful website – warning – book ahead to save disappointment of missing out!

GETTING IN THE SPIRIT

If you like a wee dram of something stronger, Tasmania also have a thriving spirits industry with distilleries producing some premium spirits.

Breweries in Tasmania too are boutique, delightful and open for tours as well as tastings and just enjoying a good beer with some local delicacies.

SALAMANCA MARKET

Saturday morning in Hobart is when Salamanca Place fires into life. With a vibrant market featuring over 300 stalls, here you will find everything good, local, tasty, intriguing, beautiful and artisan.

Salamanca Market Produce

WALK, CYCLE, PADDLE, SAIL AND EXPLORE

If you like the great outdoors, you’ll strike gold in Tasmania. As well as strolling the fascinating streets of Hobart, a jaunt or two out of town is highly recommended, even if you’re only there for a few days.

For the more rugged adventurers, overnight hikes take you into absolutely stunning, pristine wilderness and there are both mountainous and coastal options.

Being an island means lots of coastline and of course, this is fully celebrated in Tasmania. Everything from kayaking, to fishing, to sailing on a chartered yacht is on offer. Check out Discover Tasmania for ideas on where to find your ideal adventure.

CULTURE AND ARTS

We’ve focused on the culinary arts but Hobart cannot be overlooked for an impressive concentration of visual arts. There are lovely little galleries to explore all over Hobart.

The Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery are a must see. Housed in Tasmania’s oldest building, you will see a wonderfully curated collection of Aboriginal and colonial arts, relics and natural wonders.

The wild card in the cultural experience scene, has to be the now famous MONA. Situated twelve kilometres North of Hobart, the most exciting option for getting there is, we think, a cruise up the Derwent River.  MONA is a dramatic offering with three floors to explore. Lonely Planet report that the “$75-million museum has been described by philanthropist owner David Walsh as ‘a subversive adult Disneyland’. Ancient antiquities are showcased next to contemporary works: sexy, provocative, disturbing and deeply engaging.”

While you’re at MONA, it would seem a pity not to call in at the magnificent winery, Moorilla. You can engage in some wine tasting or perhaps enjoy a Moo Brew beer tasting. There is also a stunningly situated restaurant, The Source, upstairs for a perfect lunch.

WAIT, THERE’S MORE

We’ll be featuring location guides from other great spots in Tasmania but just as a starter:

Launceston – a stunning town, Tasmania’s second largest to Hobart, situated perfectly on the harbour that’s dotted with yachts and fishing boats. Lovely restaurants; spectacular scenery; great community, and the gateway to activities in this region of the island.

Whileaway Guides – Q&A

Q&A

WHILEAWAY

GUIDES

If you're thinking of being a Locum in a regional area, Prescript is delighted to introduce you to our favourite travel companion 'Whileaway Guides'.  Read our Q&A with founders Kitty Spry and Jess Grinter and hear how the Guides are designed to be like the diary of a well-travelled friend.

How and why did Whileaway Guides start?  Sydney-siders Kitty Spry and Jess Grinter, have been great friends for many years and have always shared a love of travel and discovery. After both living overseas, we realised how much we relished to get out and about to visit our surrounds on weekends but where do you start looking for information if you are not familiar with the area and who has the time these days?

After returning to Sydney, (over a glass of Rosé no less) the concept was born! The more we talked about it the idea of creating these guides, the more excited we got. There was nothing else like it for regional areas. With our sense of adventure and eternal curiosity of new places to escape, we were always being asked by friends for tips on places to go, see and savour. Why not package it up and put it in print for all to enjoy? And so we did!

What are your backgrounds?  Kitty is a mother and is not one to sit around on the couch doing nothing. She has always loved exploring the next new place and with kids, she didn’t want this to stop. And it’s the perfect excuse to get out of the IT rat race! Whileaway Guides are inspired and dedicated to Kitty’s mum, Deborah Spry, who had a passion for the good old fashioned holiday brochure and planning her next getaway. Never without the excitement of the next adventure in mind, we hope that she and these treasured little guides inspire you to do the same (as Deb inspired us).

Jess is a passionate graphic designer who is incessantly inquisitive about the world we live in with a thirst for discovery. Along with her ‘joie de vivre’, she madly scours design and travel material – always looking out for unique places, products and experiences to hit the market. Not one to sit back and relax, she loves to escape every chance she gets and will often jump in the car or plane to see what all the fuss is about. Being ‘in the know’ and finding new and peachy-perfect places is what makes it all worthwhile (and fun to boot). Throw in some good tunes, great coffee and fab food and she is one happy camper.

Why did you choose the regional areas you included in the guides?  Whileaway Guides were born to inspire travellers to look outside our major cities into the more rural regions. We chose the regions that had a unique and varied range of offerings to the ‘experience seeker’ all within short distances from home. They also needed to provide an easy ‘mini-break’ from a large city or commercial airport to encourage busy locals and overseas guests to venture out and explore.

What is your criteria when choosing the places included in the guides? What are the characteristics looked for when compiling the guides?  The Guides are designed to be more like the diary of a well-travelled friend, impartial and unbiased, offering personal advice based on our team’s experiences. No one pays to feature in our guides. Before we visit, we gather hot tips and recommendations from locals then go to check it ourselves.  We choose the featured offerings based on the ‘feel’ that is, it’s welcoming, value for money and depicts the mood for the region – there is something about it that is just a little bit special. And we know our ‘friends’ will just love it.

What is the most attractive city in Australia nowadays? Why?  Hobart (Tasmania) is Australia’s current hotspot and ticking all the boxes for all the right reasons. Attractive physically, culturally and historically, there is something for everyone including the foodies. Nestled at the foot of Mount Wellington on the Derwent River, it is surrounded by luscious lands producing gourmet delights – boutique wines, cheeses, and apples to name a few (Tassie is not called the ‘apple isle’ for nothing).

It is certainly setting new standards in the arty world with crowds flocking to recently opened art galleries including MONA – a unique and very memorable experience ‘wowing’ visitors from all over the globe. Not only is the gallery making waves in art circles, the onsite cafe, restaurant, brewery and shop provide a well rounded experience for those who travel to this little pocket of perfection. The historic center around Constitution Dock, Battery Point and Port Arthur ooze stories of our convict past will excite the historians. 

Hobart and surrounds is also our best selling guide so hop down to hip and happening Hobart!

What trends are you seeing coming up in Australia’s lifestyle?  There is a real trend towards lifestyle changes – ‘Tree change’ and Sea change’ as people seek a more relaxed lifestyle, out of the cities. Australia’s range of diverse landscapes from beach to bush means there are options for all personalities to live and travel – most within short distances from home or quick flight escape.

There is a strong push towards food and wine being produced organically, especially those products that are within 100 food miles, (lowering their carbon footprint). Fresh is best as they say and we agree!

Culture is also playing an important part of getaway experiences, learning something new and discovering something old.

How are your guides different to other guides?

• They contain all the best bits for a destination – things to see, explore, eat, drink and places to stay. We have done the research for you so all you have to do is turn up.
• They are ‘unbiased and impartial’ meaning no one has paid to be in the guides. They only make the cut if we have been there, seen it and loved it!
• 10 folded pocket-sized pages, written in itinerary style with a cute little map – easy to carry around.
• A calendar of events so you can plan your trip around the action.
• Fun, quirky facts that you didn’t know about the region (perfect for the historians or trivia nuts!)
• A place for you to write memorable bits or notes of things to remember, like the name of the vintage vino you just sampled (or the phone number of the spunky waiter that just served you).
• They pack a punch but won’t break the bank – you’ll have change from a tenner.
• Collect them as a special memory of your experiences in a gorgeous Whileaway Journal – perfect for the coffee table and to make your friends jealous of your recent adventures.

Who designed them?  Jess Grinter is a graphic designer and with her love of vintage finds, created the visual identity for Whileaway Guides. We starting with the name and loved the double meaning of ‘while away’ and with that, came the development of the logo – a hot air balloon. Jess and Kitty both loved the sense of freedom, adventure and escape and knew that the balloon encapsulated this feeling. From there, we wanted to keep the design and typography simple to let the guides speak (literally) for themselves.

The pastel ‘gelato’ colour palette representing each Australian state is reflective of vintage flavours and compliments the uncoated paper the guides are printed on – yummo. We love print and paper! Together over a year in development, we researched, designed and refined to create Whileaway Guides and we love now sharing these with others

Who are they aimed for? Locals or foreigners?  Both. What’s great about the guides is that, as locals love getting out and about especially on weekends to escape the city and discover new things. As most destinations are within a few hours drive of these cities, they offer the ultimate escape! For foreigners, it provides the chance to see Australia’s uniqueness and to experience what our regional areas have to offer. More often than not, foreigners see more of a country than the locals – so we are hoping to change that, and in fact I think we have already!

Choose the best restaurant and the best bar from your guides.  This is a tricky one – too much to choose from.

Food

Biota Dining (Bowral, New South Wales) – ups-the-ante with unusual culinary delights in gorgeous Scandinavian-like setting. One must for the foodies.

Tarrawarra Estate (Yarra Valley, Victoria) – spectacular architectural masterpiece set within winery. Great food with view across the rolling hills. When you are finished, have a walk around the onsite art gallery.

Spirit House (Maleny, Sunshine Coast Guide) – The night-time ambiance of a rainforest dining experience.

BARS

Nautilus  – (Port Douglas, Far North Queensland Guide). The chilli Margarita is sublime.

White Rabbit Brewery – (Yarra Valley Guide, Victoria). Coolness and relaxation at its best.

Salthouse – (Cairns and surrounds Guide, Queensland). Located on the marina, when the sun goes down, the tunes are turned up for a lively atmosphere.
