Hervey Bay & Inland South-East Queensland

Hervey Bay is situated on the Fraser Coast approximately 450kms (270miles) north of Brisbane. Surprising, it is about the same distance away from Toowoomba. This is because Toowoomba and Brisbane are almost apparel to each other attitudinally.





Kevin spent the last week at Hervey Bay attending Residential School at the University of Southern Queensland’s Fraser Coast campus. There are worse places to go to Uni!



Hervey Bay is Australia’s Whale watching capital.


KILKIVAN
Kilkivan is the northern gateway to the South Burnett (inland from the Fraser Coast & Sunshine Coast). It's located on the Wide Bay Highway approximately 286 kilometres north-west of Brisbane.

Kilkivan is a quiet and pleasant town with a population of around 400 people.


GOOMERI
Goomeri is approximately 20 kilometres south of Kilkivan and also along the Burnett Highway.

Goomeri is the largest town of the Kilkivan Shire and it has a population of around 500 residents.

The side of a farm shed is an interesting place to advertise the Goomeri Pumpkin Festival.

It does face the main road in, so I guess it works.
