travel brisbane to hervey bay

Hervey Bay has often been called the jewel in Queensland's crown. It is also referred to as the Whale Watch Capital of the World. A scenic 3 ½ hours drive north of Brisbane and only 45 minutes by air from Brisbane, Hervey Bay is an easily accessible holiday destination.

Named after an English Casanova, it's no wonder that Hervey Bay's seductive charms are difficult to resist. Its warm subtropical climate, long sandy beaches, calm blue ocean and a relaxed, unpretentious local community lure all sorts of travellers to its shores – from backpackers to families and retirees. Throw in the chance to see majestic humpback whales frolicking in the water and the town's convenient access to the World Heritage–listed Fraser Island, and it's easy to understand how Hervey Bay has become an unflashy, yet undeniably appealing, tourist hotspot.

Fraser Island shelters Hervey Bay from the ocean surf and the sea here is shallow and completely flat – perfect for kiddies and postcardy summer-holiday pics.

The 290km road trip from Brisbane to Hervey Bay in Queensland takes around three hours and 24 minutes.

The 254km drive from Brisbane to Inskip Point takes around three hours and four minutes.

This guide is aimed at travellers planning a Brisbane to Hervey Bay road trip itinerary .

The Queensland town of Hervey Bay is a major stop on the classic east coast route from Sydney to Cairns . This is largely because it’s the main gateway to Fraser Island / K’gari – the world’s largest sand island . But there’s also excellent whale-watching to be had. Several whale cruises leave from Urangan harbour.

Brisbane to Hervey Bay road trip stops

This is a mistake, because driving straight from Brisbane to Hervey Bay means you miss out on the Sunshine Coast . That’s no boat cruises in Mooloolaba , no markets in Eumundi , no Kondalilla National Park walks from Montville and no koalas in the Noosa National Park .

You’re missing some of the best experiences and towns in Queensland . If you’ve got the time, drive from Brisbane to Noosa , and stay in Queensland’s best beach town for a few days before moving north.

That said, Australia Zoo and the Aussie World theme park are just off the Bruce Highway should you fancy animal encounters or a log flume.

Direct Brisbane to Hervey Bay drive

However, time pressures might dictate that you need to do the drive from Brisbane to Hervey Bay in one hit, or as the first leg on a Brisbane to Cairns road trip . According to Google Maps , the Brisbane to Hervey Bay drive is 290km long .

This is mainly along the Bruce Highway, via the towns of Gympie and Maryborough . That makes for a Brisbane to Hervey Bay driving time of three hours and 24 minutes.

However, if the plan is to head straight for Fraser Island, you don’t want to head to Hervey Bay itself. The Fraser Island barge, carrying 4WD vehicles across to the island, leaves from River Heads. This is just south of Hervey Bay.

The bad news is that you have to swing around the outskirts of Hervey Bay to get on the River Heads Road , and the journey takes longer. The drive from Brisbane to River Heads is 301km long, and should take around three hours and 34 minutes.

Brisbane to Inskip Point driving time

There is an alternative access point to Fraser Island, however. If your plan is to leave Brisbane, drive up, then go straight to Fraser Island, you should aim for the Manta Ray barge at Inskip Point . These barges go to the southern tip of Fraser Island.

Inskip Point is just north of the small town of Rainbow Beach – well worth seeing for the multicoloured sands. Staying in Rainbow Beach is a legitimate alternative to Hervey Bay, too. There are several hostels, a caravan park and a few apartment-style resorts. Several Fraser Island tours leave from Rainbow Beach.

5 brilliant Rainbow Beach experiences you should book in advance

• Kayaking with dolphins – including a 4WD beach driving adventure.
• Beginner surfing lessons – you’ll be standing on the board by the end.
• Stand-up paddleboarding and 4WD tour combo – great value day out.
• Fraser Island day tour – visiting the island’s main highlights.
• Fraser Island three day tour – covering parts of the island most visitors miss.

The drive from Brisbane to Inskip Point is 254km long, and should take around three hours and four minutes. The Hervey Bay weather is best outside the summer months.

Queensland Police were called to an address on Boat Harbour Dr at Urangan on the Fraser Coast about 12pm following reports of a disturbance.

Upon arrival, a man was found armed with a knife and he was making threats at police.

Police have since declared an emergency declaration under the Public Safety Preservation Act about 6.30pm on Monday.
