If you’re passing through, make sure to visit the Miles Historical Village Museum—you’ll leave with a much better understanding of the area’s past.

This small town on the banks of the Balonne River had already captured our hearts during our first stop, and this time, we were ready to explore even further.

We explored the world’s largest sand island with K’gari Explorer Tours, hitting all the highlights in one unforgettable day. Clear lakes, lush rainforest, wild beaches and even a scenic flight over the island.

Beach strolls, market browsing and a breathtaking afternoon spotting whales off K’gari. Hervey Bay gave us sun, salt air and sea life in spades. It’s a relaxed spot that delivered more than we expected.

A deep dive into one of Australia’s most iconic distilleries—Bundaberg Rum. We toured the molasses-scented halls, learned the secrets behind the spirit, and discovered just how much Bundy is hiding on site.

We spent five relaxed days in Rockhampton with favourite brunches at Riverston Tea Rooms, exploring the Railway Museum, and soaking up the creative buzz at the Art Gallery. A perfect blend of history, art, and perfect blue skies.

From the stillness of the Capricorn Caves to the sea breeze at Emu Park, Yeppoon offered a quiet stretch of coast, strong coffee, and a few days to slow down and breathe.
