Hervey bay info
The first recorded sighting of Hervey Bay was made by James Cook while carrying out his running survey of the east coast of Australia, on the 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. 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".[4]
Until around the mid 80's 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.
[edit]Transport

Hervey Bay is situated approximately 3½ hours drive north of Brisbane, via the Bruce Highway and 30 minutes drive north-east of Maryborough. The city is also serviced by the high speed Tilt Train which has connections from Maryborough West or nearby Howard. 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, a 900-metre (980 yd) cross 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.
[edit]Railway
Main article: Hervey Bay railway line, Queensland
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, however 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.[5] 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 is the largest population centre within the Fraser Coast Region.
Climate

The area has a mild, sub-tropical climate with an average 30 °C (86 °F) in summer and 23 °C (73 °F) in winter. The coast is predominantly affected by the south east trade winds which keep a cool breeze throughout the summer.[citation needed]
Cyclones are a threat at times. In March 2009, Cyclone Hamish threatened the area, however it did not cross the coast. Fraser Island protects Hervey Bay from such extreme weather. Average rainfall for the year is 1,100 millimetres (43 in) with an average of 300 sunny days.[citation needed]
[edit]Localities

Hervey Bay began as a dispersed community spread over numerous small, seaside villages. As the area grew, these communities amalgamated and became suburbs of the new city. The current city includes Dundowran, Dundowran Beach, Eli Waters, Kawungan, Nikenbah, Pialba, Point Vernon, Scarness, Takura, Torquay, Urangan, Urraween, Walligan and Wondunna.
Townships outside the Hervey Bay city limits include: Aldershot, Booral, Burrum Heads, Craignish, Howard, River Heads, Toogoom and Torbanlea.
