Maryborough to Rockhampton road trip: Best stops, distance & drive time
Attractions between Gympie and Rockhampton: Hervey Bay
Hervey Bay is the main departure point for Fraser Island, but it is much more than just a ferry terminal.
Top things to do in Hervey Bay include the Hervey Bay Botanical Gardens, Wetside Water Park and Hervey Bay Historical Village.
You can also opt for a one day Fraser Island tour, a whale-watching cruise or a sunset cruise.
Good Hervey Bay accommodation choices include the Discovery Parks holiday park, the apartment-style Mantra Hervey Bay, and the very well-reviewed Akama Resort.
After Hervey Bay, the next logical stop is Bundaberg, and the fastest Hervey Bay to Bundaberg drive skirts past small beach towns Burrum Heads and Woodgate Beach.
