Christmas Holidays 2022

Being the Fraser Coast Tourism Ambassadors is the easiest job in the world!!

We take it very seriously…..

Dan & I both grew up on the Fraser Coast with our families since we were about 9 years of age. Which means I think we can now be called locals….. We have seen it grow & change which really excites us. There is really no other place we want to be as a family as Emmy grows up.

When your region is as gorgeous as it is, has a million things to offer & a supportive community around you – it’s really quite easy… We love that visitors alike also feel this way & sometimes end up moving to the region. During the Christmas holidays the town was buzzing & we love that feeling. Holiday makers making the most of our climate, perfect weather & safe beaches. Dining, eating, swimming & relaxing is what it’s all about.  

• Multiple visits to our FREE Wetside Water Park located on the foreshore in Hervey Bay (and 5mins drive from home) so fun for hours!  Catch ups with friends & fish and chips in your swimmers are what dreams are made of!!
