Burrum Coast

Short drives from Hervey Bay are the picturesque villages of Burrum Heads and Toogoom where you can eat fresh local seafood in a cafe, stroll on the unspoiled beaches, or fish from the shore or a tinny. 

The townships of Howard and Torbanlea are relics of the bygone coal mining era, filled with old fashioned country charm, historic homes, and a mining museum depicting the olden days.
