How to Reach Hervey Bay, Australia

Hervey Bay by Train:

Despite Hervey Bay's growing popularity, no plans have been made for a new railway line to be extended into the city. The previous passenger and freight line branched off the North Coast main line at Colton, just above Maryborough. Trains stopped at many stations along the line, but the main stations were Pialba and Urangan. The railway then extended along the Urangan Pier. The line carried out many pineapples and local goods from the city. The line was closed in 1993. The tracks from Nikenbah to Urangan were ripped up and the Pialba – Urangan line was converted into a mobility corridor.[4] Traces of the railway line are still visible in Urangan. There are two semi-removed crossings (Everything but the tracks were removed) near the end of Pier Street and the track's ballast is still slightly visible from where the mobility corridor ends.

Hervey Bay by Air:

The city is served by the Hervey Bay Airport, with direct flights from Brisbane (QantasLink) and Sydney (Virgin Australia). The City of Hervey Bay (now the Fraser Coast Region) has released an Airport Master Plan which includes future provisioning of a taxiway parallel to the main runway, additional car parking facilities and larger terminal. The city is also served by passenger ferry to Fraser Island, as well as both scheduled and unscheduled vehicle Ferrys.
