Discover the Magic of Fraser Coast

Stay & Visit the Fraser Coast

Discover the beauty of our breathtaking region as you immerse yourself in the Fraser Shorts Film Festival.

Explore Fraser Coast's Rich Heritage

Nestled in Queensland, the Fraser Coast is a captivating blend of natural beauty and rich history, offering visitors a journey through stunning landscapes and significant heritage. From the pristine shores of K’gari to the thriving marine ecosystems of Lady Elliot Island, this region promises unforgettable adventures.

Explore its World Heritage-listed sites or discover the military history that echoes through the streets of Maryborough. Hervey Bay serves as the gateway to K’gari and boasts some of the finest whale watching experiences in a recently designated Whale Heritage Site, along with some of the safest and most family-friendly beaches along the Queensland coast. The stories of resilience and triumph from Maryborough’s colonial past to the present day are beautifully illustrated through its heritage buildings, vibrant public art, statues, memorials, and museums. Once the industrial heart of Queensland in the late 19th century, Maryborough produced naval vessels, heavy castings for sugar mills, and railway locomotives while also being a hub for timber milling and sugar cane agriculture.
