Hervey Bay

We left Ubobo on Sunday morning right after church so we could get home and make the turn to leave Monday morning for Hervey Bay. So Monday morning we got up, packed, loaded the car and headed south to Hervey Bay … a three to four hour trip. No hurries, no worries!!

Hervey Bay is a small town located on the Sunshine Coast between Brisbane and Gladstone. We have reservations to catch the noon ferry to Fraser Island (K’Gari) on Tuesday and we decided to get in the area the day before instead of worrying about being delayed and missing our trip. We spent the night in a nice Motel and went “downtown” for dinner.

The Beach. Hervey Bay sits on a large Bay favored by the Humpback whales as they migrate south to the cooler waters of the Antarctic.

Evening sets in and we start looking for food.

So the next morning, Tuesday, we got up, had some coffee, and drove the short way to where the Kings Bay Resort Checkin Center was located. See you there.
