Hervey Bay Gossip

The floods have come and gone and the roads are open.

The cyclones missed us completely and there is plenty to see, do and enjoy here in Hervey Bay so come on up for a holiday … you won’t be disappointed.

And sunset walks on the beach like this one? They’re free every day.

Cool breeze after a warm day and the beach is the place to be

There were plenty of people walking on the beach on what was really a warm and pleasant morning to be out and about.

 

 

If you weren’t in Hervey Bay this weekend you certainly missed out on some great weather. It’s almost winter and the nights are getting a little cool but the days are just glorious.

On Saturday afternoon these paddlers weren’t the only ones enjoying time on and in the water.

Here in Hervey Bay we’re creeping ever closer to winter … but even at this time of year the beach is a great place to be … and it’s a great spot for some exercise even when the tide’s in.

Even though we’ve experienced so rather cold days this winter we not seem to be returning to normal. Winter Hervey Bay style means days so warm that you can still go swimming and the beach is a great place to be.

Yesterday afternoon was definitely warm enough to go swimming,

It’s hard to believe that it really is autumn here in Hervey Bay but then mornings down on the beach have a timeless quality about them.

This morning there was plenty to look at off the beach. Apart from the Fighting Whiting, the barge that’s still out there and the outriggers there were three other vessels moored just off the beach too.

 

Way down in Tasmania the mornings and evenings are becoming rather cold according to one of our friends who still lives in Hobart.

But up here in Hervey Bay the beach is still the place to be at any time of the day.

On the beach is the only place to be

After a week of high winds and a few storms the beach is still the only place to have breakfast here in Hervey Bay. Breakfast at Aquavue right on the beach was very pleasant and the view was priceless.
