EYE HEART HERVEY BAY

[@joshphillips9364]

Wow! Im the buy behind you at 4min 30 with the black hat and sunnies! Was my first day of work and living on the island

[@cherbinsted2378]

Gataker’s Bay, on the spot of the closed down restaurant was where my parents had a boat hiring place. Dad, Dick Kite, built the kiosk himself by hand. They ran it for many years before selling it to a guy named Bear, whose nickname was Yogi. Dad bought the old original boat business off people by the name of Whitaker. Our home, still there, was up the hill behind the boat shed, which was Point Vernon. That was back in the early sixties and early seventies. Dad was an avid fisherman. We often went across to Dundowran Beach fishing. It was all bush then. Eli Creek was popular for crabbing.

A good way of getting to really see what a place is like, without having to go there. Hervey Bay looks nice.

Fraser has a long history of logging. Starting in the early 1860s and ending in 1991. There was even a train line on the island to cart timber.

[@whiskysierra]

Pialba Station is in its original position, the line used to run all the way to the Urangan pier.

[@davidtait3495]

The station is in the same position but they rotated it so it facing the other way

[@kierasthoughts2480]

I love their botanic gardens.

[@shellebelle53]

Fraser Island used to be awesome many years ago before it became popular. I learned a lot about 4wding there and Moreton Island too as a teenager. Lake McKenzie is such a beautiful spot and Eli Creek is pretty cool too.

@shelleigh5993 When you were a teenager - that would be back in the early 2000's?

[@shellebelle53]

😂😂I wish

@walkaboutwithrob well there you go...can't beat being a teenager in the eighties I reckon 😉

The tips on where to eat are greatly appreciated. Would love you to visit my old hometown Rockhampton. Message me if you want to know anything about the region and smaller towns. Mount Morgan is quite fascinating.

[@walkaboutwithrob]

@zazzleman I'm currently looking for another destination to head to, and have never been to Rockhampton. What's good to see and do there?

My home town. What a shame you were there after the floods. Our water is usually beautifully clean, and no rubbish on the beaches.

[@helloagain8098]

Hey Enzo. Long time ago until we met in Laughlin Nevada. Just saw this video. Brings back some memories. Was great to see you still doing great. All the best from Cyprus from your friend Udo.

[@julieschipplock9439]

I ❤️Hervey Bay too!

[@jessdean5500]

Visited Fraser a very long time ago now I was amazed at how clear the water is. Still amazed by it.

[@plowestory]

Good stuff - thank you

[@darrenalbury6050]

This wall has me terribly nostalgic. Yet another cracking video.

Used to holiday there as a kid, that beach house hotel never looked that good in the 80's

[@uzetaab]

Nice video. Thanks!

Beach House Hotel does have good food.

How much to go to Fraser Island for the day?

[@1247rimini]

Lake McKenzie looks super inviting but I’ll be sure not to wear white t-shirt. Must add K’gari to my bucket list. Hervey Bay for ANZAC dawn service.
