- We have had so much rain in South East Queensland in recent weeks, so we decided to jump in the car for a day trip and drive...north...to Hervey Bay on the Fraser Coast!
Situated 3.5 hours north of Brisbane, Hervey Bay is widely known as a site for observing humpback whales and is also the most popular access point to Fraser Island. But, Hervey Bay has so much more to offer.....
Hervey Bay has a wonderful subtropical climate. Temperatures range from 16.7c to 26.2c degrees in winter ☀️ It’s also well known for fishing and boating. The Bay has 17 kilometres of beautiful golden beaches and the bay’s waters are sheltered by Fraser Island which makes it very safe for swimming 🐟
We had a great day walking around Hervey Bay, enjoying fish and trips for lunch and finishing at a waterfront restaurant for a refreshing drink with a view... before heading home 🌴
We invite you to come with us as we make regular trips and take you with us via our weekly videos 😊

Hi, we're Beth & Paul from Brisbane, Australia and we love to travel!
Paul retired on 28th February 2020 and on the 1st March 2020, we set out on a 6-month adventure around South East Asia. This was a well-planned once-in-a-lifetime travel experience! It was our intention to show you how you can have a great time travelling without spending a fortune.
Our timing wasn't great - with the outbreak of the Covid-19 virus and subsequent global turmoil less than a month into our trip.
Until it is safe to travel internationally again, we turn our focus on travelling around Queensland and sharing everything our beautiful State has to offer!
Our videos are posted weekly 😊 (we aim for Thursdays).

Hi Mehmet 🤗 Yes, there are many beautiful beaches in Queensland 🏝🐠 ☀️
Hervey Bay💙
Thanks for sharing,brings me back to my old memories from Harvey Bay ,good fishing there
Hi @rendezvu84 🤗 we noticed people fishing on the piers 🐠 The local seafood in the shops looked fresh and there was a huge variety…thanks for watching!
Hi another lovely video 😊. Beautiful beach. We were shouting fish n chips at the TV 😄
Ha ha thanks Lynn, unfortunately, due to the flooding river a few days earlier, the sea didn’t look as good as it usually is. Have to tell you though, best fish supper we’ve ever had was in ….Dunoon! 🤗
Great video, thanks.
When I watch your video next week, my family and I will finally be Australian residents and living in your great country after a 4 year wait.
CONGRATULATIONS Andrew and Family! That’s wonderful news…we’re very happy for you ❤️ Have a safe trip 🤗
Hervey Bay has to be one of my favourite places to relax and enjoy the beautiful view of the beach. Best fish and chips for sure.. Pretty jealous you scored some oysters Paul. Hope you had a lovely day and a safe trip home. 😊
Thanks Ryan 🤗 We had such a great day in Hervey Bay and Paul was pretty happy with the oysters 😋
We just love Qld too. Thanks for all your videos.x
Queensland ☀️is the best isn’t it?! Thanks for watching Kerrie 🤗
@@BethandPaultravel Next week we are heading to Port Douglas for a week. Ollie and I love travelling too. Hope to get back to Vietnam again when Covid subsides. Want to do Cambodia too. Stay safe.x
Great spot. Was there in 1983! Certainly want to visit again. Love your tours. Take Care.
Thanks @Entropy Spin 🤗 we hadn’t been there for years either and we were really impressed.
I'm guessing you had fish and chips. Yes I was right. What a beautiful place. Its always tempting to go for a swim when its that hot and lovely. I always love the beach. What a nice bar on the beach front.
Ha ha you guessed right Imogen 😀 The fish was delicious! Usually the water is a magnificent colour blue in Hervey Bay, but the recent heavy rains and subsequent flooding of the Mary River meant it looked a little murky this week…we hope to go back again soon and have a swim next time 🤗
Another great video , love the fish & chips part, good to see Paul is one of my type of Fish potato cake & dimmies ( dim sims -a must), beautiful beaches and boardwalks. Philltheflyer
Thanks Phill 😊 we’re happy you enjoyed this one….and yes, there’s nothing better than perfectly cooked dimmies and potato cakes 😋
This is such a powerful wanderlust video. When I was working in an unfulfilling corporate job, I would sometimes travel just to escape the grind and distract myself from it. It was when I quit that job when I began traveling with purpose.
Thank you once again for amazing explores!!!!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment @Reel Happy Travellers 😊 We’re really happy you enjoyed this video!
Thanks for another great video. My wife Laura and I have just moved to Queensland from Wales and can't wait to start exploring some of these places. We appreciate all the tips you've given us! :D
Welcome to Queensland Geraint & Laura ☀️We are very excited for you and hope you have lots of fun exploring this beautiful state and the rest of Australia!
What an interesting video, informative, well filmed and there’s even a Model3!
I like your relaxed and fun presentation .
🙏
Thanks Teslariffic 🤗 We did a road trip to Airlie 3 months ago and made a couple of videos you might like because our Tesla features in them quite a bit 😊
@@BethandPaultravel Yes, I have watched those videos previously and I subscribed at that time, by the way the weather here in Melbourne has been glorious all this week. 👍
@@cyclone20021 Thanks 🤗 that’s great to hear. We’re driving down to Melbourne in March ☀️
As the video started I said to myself "Wonder which chipper Beth and Paul will go to?" love it!
Really special place.
We were looking at the Sunshine Coast for when/if we get to immigrate, but the house prices made us look further north, so from Hervey Bay to Rockhampton.
You guys always have such lovely, real, insights without the "insta" tropes ;)
Hi Karl, ha ha you were right….we we’re always going to have fish n chips 😉 House prices on the Sunshine Coast have gone through the roof in the last 18 months. But, there are nice places further north or west that are a lot more reasonable. On our road trip to Airlie Beach in September, we discovered so many beautiful towns and beaches along the way. We’re going to Bargara and 1770 in March…both beautiful beachside towns 🤗 We’re really happy you’re enjoying our videos 😊
Hi Beth and Paul, we are holidaying in Hervey Bay, it is so beautiful and very hot. Will definitely give Madigan's a try for fish and chips, thanks for recommendation!
Hi Val 🤗 Lucky You! We hope you have a fantastic holiday in Hervey Bay! We had such a nice time there this week. It is very beautiful and it’s hot on the Sunshine Coast too this week ☀️we hope you enjoy your fish and chips as much as we did 😋
Beautiful fish and chips..... errrr... I mean beautiful video! (looks like Paul had a couple of little sausage rolls instead of all fish)
The mention of Captain Cook evoked the feeling he and his crew must have felt when they saw that shoreline in the 1770s.
Ha ha good spotting…he also had a couple of potato cakes and a dim sim (instead of chips). They were all cooked so perfectly 😋
We absolutely love your videos and in particular your beach or hinterland videos. After 3 years we are missing home so very much and the coast is still our true home. Thanks Beth and Paul for keeping us connected even if it does bring a little tear to my eyes.
Hi Intrepid Nurse 🤗 We’re really happy that you’re still enjoying our videos. It’s really nice to hear they make you feel connected to home ❤️ Take Care x
@@BethandPaultravel we’ve been so homesick we have binge-watched about 10 of your videos 🙈😂
It's so nice to hear how Harvey Bay on the Fraser Coast has a thriving bird and sealife community. Thank you for taking us along. Be Well. Stay Safe. Enjoy your Summer. Sending you lots of love.💖💖. Harriet and Jim from Richmond, Va.
Hi Harriet & Jim 🤗 Hervey Bay is a beautiful place ❤️ We hope you’re keeping well and had a good start to 2022 ☀️
Hi Beth and Paul what a amazing view of the beaches and the fish look very nice Harvey bay looks beautiful keep up the good work see you soon ❤️
Hi Tony 😊 Yes, Harvey Bay has some beautiful beaches ….and the fish was delicious 🐠 Thanks for watching!
Absolutely beautiful!
Thanks Hanelie 🤗 Harvey Bay is beautiful ☀️
Wow it looks beautiful there! And yes we did guess correctly with the fish and chips and noticed you'd remembered to ask for it battered... 🙂 We've made a note of that fish and chip shop for when we can finally get to Oz for a hol. Really interesting too about the migration of the birds. We're just about to watch your next vid now!
Hi Julie, due to the very unusual amount of rain that week, the flooded Mary river made the water look a bit murky….it’s usually a spectacular bright blue colour! It’s definitely worth a visit and a great place to see lots of whales in winter. We hope you enjoy the next one….our first trip west of Brisbane to a couple of authentic Queensland rural towns 🤗
@@BethandPaultravel thank you 🥰
It’s great to see those bright blue skies again! Hervey Bay is beautiful, we’re hoping to go whale watching on our next visit ❤️
You’ll love whale watching at Hervey Bay….you’re practically guaranteed to see stax of whales! And yes, it was so nice that the rain stopped and we were able to enjoy the sunshine again ☀️
Hi we are from Melbourne, live your videos watch all of them. Thank you
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment Yasemin 🤗 We ❤️ Melbourne!
@@BethandPaultravel we know you are originally from Melbourne. I can't locate your latest videos. Are you still making them?
Yes, we are! Our channel is called Beth and Paul Travel…we make a new one every week 🤗
Happy New year to you both!love watching your videos and looking forward to more adventures coming up😊keep safe always🤗🤗🤗from Philippines with ❤🇵🇭
Happy New Year to you too Jane 🤗 We’re really happy you’re still enjoying our videos from the Philippines 😊😊😊
Hey Beth and Paul.. I love your videos, thanks for taking us on your trips. Just curious.. are mosquitos a thing (or maybe a problem) there?
Hey Fabio 🤗 Thanks for watching our videos! We didn’t see any mozzies when we were there….there might be a few in Summer around sunrise and sunset, but probably no more than anywhere else on the Australian east coast 😉
Next time you are in the bay, give point vernon fish and chips shop a go as well they have some of the best Flake you can get in the area :)
Thanks 😊 That’s a great tip…we love flake but it’s not so common down here 🦈
The size of that battered cod and the crunch, yum 🤤
Yum is right 😉 it was as good as it looked 🐠
Paul and Beth are the best! Awesome video. Thank you for sharing with us.
Aaaaw Thanks Nattie 🤗 We love that you loved it!!!
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Usman 😊
I was going to say egg salad sandwich, but glad you took advantage of the location and tried their fish & chips ! looked super yummy too. Nice vid Beth and Paul.
Thanks @Chilli Dude 🤗 ha ha yes, a crunchy piece of fresh fish trumps an egg salad sandwich every time! We had a great day and glad you liked this one 😊
You must have caught Hervey Bay on a flat no waves day.
You’re probably right! Thanks for watching 😊
Hahaha just kidding about. We don’t get waves in the bay, due to K’gari.
But thank you for a lovely review on Hervey Bay (my home)
As a person who lives in the bay, its surprising how busy Hervey Bay can get, but its also one of the best places in Queensland I have lived :)
We agree @Cootason 🤗 Harvey Bay is an awesome place!
@@BethandPaultravel I moved here from Rockhampton years ago its been impossible to live anywhere else :). Though I have had my Eyes set on Noosa for a while. you just cant beat the layout in hervey bay.
If you are looking for a restaurant to try. give Baleana Cafe a shot over near the boat club.
Another great tip…thanks so much 🤗
Harvey or Hervey?
It’s Hervey Bay ☀️ Thanks for watching!
Spelt Hervey, locally pronounced Harvey. Tiaro is tie-ro. Bauple is bopple, also the local name of the Macadamia or Queensland nut, every other house had a Bauple nut and/or Mango tree in the yard.
