Hervey Bay’s own Water Park is now open!

Hervey Bay will become a family haven this summer with the recent opening of the Hervey Bay Water Education Park.

The $12 million project encompasses a zero-depth water play attraction and an outdoor science museum featuring the properties and nature of water. Water will cascade, squirt, spray, jet and bounce around for children to play within. This is a public facility, which is open to the public free of charge with pay-for-use features inside including a café and a static wave machine. 

The water park is all about having fun in a learning environment, with the key message being the conservation and intelligent use of water. The park features sophisticated jets, spouts and fountains so that people can have fun with water without wasting it.

This is just another reason to visit the beautiful Fraser Coast and Hervey Bay!

Fraser Lodge wins Tourism Award 3 years in a row

27 October 2009

Fraser Lodge Holiday Park, located in Hervey Bay was again recognised for their excellence in service during the 2009 Fraser Coast & South Burnett Tourism Awards held on Saturday 24th October. Winning for the third year in a row, ‘Best Caravan & Tourist Park”, Fraser Lodge will now be automatically inducted into the ‘Hall of Fame’ in 2010.

This outstanding recognition for the park marks the culmination of a highly successful year after picking up on the same night the “Access Tourism” award for the second year in a row. This has once again recognised the high standard of services and facilities that Fraser Lodge continues to deliver.

In accepting this year’s awards, Fraser Lodge spokesperson, Alison Suidgeest congratulated the efforts of the property staff saying “This award is testament to the dedication, professionalism and skill of the amazing Fraser Lodge Team.  Fraser Lodge is without a doubt, a total holiday experience”.

Fraser Lodge Manager, Sharon Gebert was thrilled to receive both awards and proud that they had once again been recognised as the region’s best holiday park.

The annual awards are designed to recognise the outstanding contribution made by those businesses and individuals whose tourism services set a high standard throughout the Fraser Coast/ South Burnett region.

“Fraser Lodge has always enjoyed an excellent reputation within the tourism and hospitality industry. Every year we recognise the need to be flexible and diverse in product. In such a competitive industry it is imperative to constantly source ways and methods to improve in product delivery and customer service. I truly believe winning these awards is recognition of our constant pursuit of excellence”, stated Mrs Gebert.

Whale Watching in Hervey Bay now in full swing!

The whale watching season in Hervey Bay is now in full swing, with some of the best sightings available - it's an opportunity to interact with these majestic animals that is not to be missed!

The first major surge of migrating whales has now entered Hervey Bay so there are plenty of whales about.

Operators have been reporting numerous sightings of humpback whales over the past few days. The whales have been engaging in spectacular breaching activities and a number of boats have also had close encounters with large pods of whales coming very close and hanging around the boats for up to an hour at a time. There have also been many dolphins swimming with the whale pods and the occasional sighting of Minke whales. One operator even stated that the amount of whales in the Bay at present is the most he has seen in the past 16 years!

Fraser Lodge Holiday Park offers a free tour booking service with free pickup with most tours booked from our office.
