City in Queensland, Australia
Hervey Bay
(
)
[4]
is a city on the coast of the
Fraser Coast Region
of
Queensland
, Australia.
[5]
The city is situated approximately 290 kilometres (180 mi) or 3½ hours' highway drive north of the state capital,
Brisbane
. It is located on the
bay of the same name
open to the
Coral Sea
between the Queensland mainland and nearby
K'gari
(also known as Fraser Island).
[6]
The local economy relies on tourism which is based primarily around
whale watching
in Platypus Bay to the north,
ferry
access to
K'gari
, accessible recreational fishing and boating and the natural north facing, calm beaches with wide undeveloped foreshore zones. In October 2019, Hervey Bay was named the First Whale Heritage Site in the world by the World Cetacean Alliance, for its commitment to and practices of sustainable whale and dolphin watching.
[7]
In the
2021 census
, Hervey Bay had a population of 57,722 people.
[1]
A 2010 study by Deakin University showed that people on the Fraser Coast area including Hervey Bay, were the happiest in Australia.
[8]
The area that became Hervey Bay is on the traditional lands of the
Butchulla
people. The city takes its name from
Hervey Bay
, named by
James Cook
in 1770 in honour of
Augustus Hervey, 3rd Earl of Bristol
. Several small townships developed along the bayside, the earliest being
Pialba
in 1863.
[9]
From 1863 to 1906, the
Wide Bay region
became a central part of the
Pacific Slave trade
, with more than 12 thousand
South Sea Islanders
brought to the
cotton
and
sugarcane
plantations in
Maryborough
and Hervey Bay.
[10]
During
World War II
, the region operated a
training school
for the
Z Special Unit
special forces
. Hervey Bay boomed from the
1980s
on and was proclaimed a city in 1984.
[11]
History
[
edit
]
Hervey Bay (the town in the background, the bay in the foreground) with the Urangan Pier, 1967
Butchulla
(also known as Batjala, Badtjala, Badjela, and Badjala) is the language of the Fraser Coast region, including
K’gari
. Butchulla language region includes the landscape within the local government boundaries of the
Fraser Coast Regional Council
, particularly the towns of
Maryborough
and Hervey Bay extending south towards
Double Island Point
and north to
Burrum Heads
.
[12]
The indigenous
Batjala
people including the
Kabi Kabi
are the
traditional residents
of Hervey Bay. Batjala means Bat-No and Jala-tongu. The first recorded European sighting of
Hervey Bay
was made by
James Cook
while carrying out his
running survey
of the
east coast of Australia
, on 22 May 1770. By noon Cook's ship was in a position a little over half-way across the opening of Hervey Bay heading for
Bundaberg
. When Cook first discovered Hervey Bay, he did not realise that Fraser Island was separated from mainland Australia; Cook did not travel far enough south due to the shallow depths of the waters in the Bay.
[13]
Cook named the bay "Hervey's Bay" after
Augustus John Hervey
(1724?1779), later Third
Earl of Bristol
, a naval officer who became a
Lord of the Admiralty
the year
Endeavour
returned.
[14]
Until around the mid-1980s the area was serviced by a
rail link
from the main
North Coast line
that diverted from
Aldershot
and went through
Takura
,
Walligan
,
Nikenbah
, then on to
Pialba
and
Urangan
. The line was a major freight point for the
Port of Maryborough
and for the sugar cane industry until road transport assumed the role.
In 1984, Hervey Bay was officially known as the "City of Hervey Bay". It was known as a city because of its large growth in business, population, tourism, and industry. Although it was now being known as a city, it still remained a small seaside village to most of the local residents.
The Hervey Bay Library opened in 1997 and had a major refurbishment in 2014.
[15]

Railway
[
edit
]
Despite Hervey Bay's growing popularity, no plans have been made for a new railway line to the city. The previous passenger and freight line branched off the North Coast main line at
Colton
, just north of 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 pineapples and local goods from the city. The line was closed in 1993. The tracks from Nikenbah to Urangan were removed and the Pialba ? Urangan line was converted into a
rail trail
.
[18]
Traces of the railway line are still visible in Urangan. There are two semi-removed crossings (Everything but the tracks was removed) near the end of Pier Street and the track's
ballast
is still slightly visible from where the mobility corridor ends.

Climate
[
edit
]
Hervey Bay has a
humid subtropical climate
with an average high temperature of around 30 °C (86 °F) in summer and 22 °C (72 °F) in winter. The coast is predominantly affected by the south east
trade winds
throughout the summer with occasional strong northerly winds and storm swells. These winds keep the temperatures down in summer and up in winter, preventing temperature extremes. As a result, Hervey Bay rarely experiences temperatures over 32.3 °C (90.1 °F) in summer or under 4.6 °C (40.3 °F) in winter.
Tropical cyclones
are a threat at times with
Cyclone Hamish
threatening in 2009 as a
Category 5
. The land mass of Fraser Island significantly affects the pattern of weather in Hervey Bay and protects the immediate marine environment from open ocean storm effects.
Cyclone Oswald
in 2013 caused significant damage in the area, mainly as a result of
tornadoes
spawned by the system. The average rainfall for the year is around 1,029.7 millimetres (40.54 in). December to March is the main rainy period, with a secondary peak in May and June. The months of April and from July to November are generally dry and sunny.
