I moved to Bowen this year and I must say, this description is pretty spot on. I still reckon it's pretty underrated. If you fish, spearfish, play golf or do hard drugs, it's paradise.

Same can be said of anywhere. Without money, everywhere is boring and sucks. With money, anywhere can be a dream. I grew up in Collinsville and Bowen, and after almost 30 years away, I find myself missing the place, even though it has changed so much. Been all over Australia and yet to find a place as lovely as North Qld, and Bowen is one of the pearls of Nth QLD. Townsville used to be good too, but its gone to the dogs. Only place I miss more than Bowen is Singapore. That is another gem of a place.

I worked on all Whitsunday islands for years but I often took my breaks in Bowen. At least Bowen has beautiful easily accessible beaches unlike Airlie( so called) Beach. Also easy access to the uninhabited islands north of Whitsunday. The big thing though is you aren't paying a fortune in a plastic la la land.

No one talks about the sandflies which send you mad .Every day at evening and morning the little spots of demon hell attack relentlessly. Only those being paid double time, and even then splashed with industrial strength insect repellent, goes outside. As for the adventure, well I failed to find any in the three years I visited. I didn't have a boat and I don't fish. I used to sit inside before the airconditioner to read. A slow restfull life in Bowen was passed too slow to contemplate now. Well away and staying away.

Pretty good video, Bowen is one of those places where it could’ve been something like apparently at one point it was supposed to be the capital for Queensland before that was given to Brisbane but apart from the beaches which are really nice btw, like you said, it’s kinda just really boring outside of doing meth and other hard drugs. At least for people from the Whitsundays it’s got the cinema and KFC which is the only reason why any of us locals even make the trip up there but I fear, that time might be up soon with KFC opening soon in Cannonvale
@devarmont876 ай бұрын
The capital was not only going to maybe, be Bowen. Also on the list was Toowoomba which it actually was for a bit. That's why the first train line was up the range to Toowoomba as it was suppose to be the capital. Also, Redcliffe and Gladstone were prospects. But Ipswich was the actual planned Capital. But it was Brisbane due to the geographical harbour position for boats imports. It was never going to be Bowen.

You lost me at the colonialist bit. Yes, there are wrongs in our history, but you say nothing of the good that has been done or mention that towns in Australia, grew by people who emigrated there, freely or not and loved their home and worked their arses off to make Australia a place where you can freely sit by a beautiful beach and drink a beer
