The Fraser Coast has an ideal climate, enviable coastal lifestyle and next door to the world heritage listed Fraser Island. With such an amazing lifestyle on offer, it's easy to see why so many people are relocating here.

It's central to everything and offers schools, employment, cafes, restaurants, shopping and entertainment. Not to mention the beautiful beaches and lush hinterland. The Coast’s unique casual culture is genuine and welcoming and makes this a highly desirable place to call home.

Hervey Bay has once again proved it's worth the visit, as it ranks as the second best Queensland region for travellers.

The winning title also places Hervey Bay in the top 10 destinations across the nation, coming seventh just after South Australia's McLarenVale, in the annual Aussie Town of the Year Awards by travel Australian website Wotif.

This year's top 10 destinations were awarded based on select criteria, including the locality's affordability, traveller satisfaction rates, leisure appeal, and, accommodation quality and flexibility.

Queensland took the crown with Cairns receiving first place, while New South Wales dominated the top travel places overall.

The award winners across Australia:

  1. Cairns, QLD
  2. Pokolbin, NSW
  3. Apollo Bay, VIC
  4. Mudgee, NSW
  5. Lakes Entrance, VIC
  6. McLarenVale, SA
  7. Hervey Bay, QLD
  8. Exmouth, WA
  9. Port Macquarie, NSW
  10. The Entrance, NSW

Fraser Coast Mayor George Seymour is thrilled the area has been noted, agreeing with travellers it's a great place to visit.

"Just to be nominated is recognition of the hard work and dedication of those involved in the tourism industry, as well as residents who go out of their way to make visitors feel welcome," the Mayor said.

"I hope everyone can experience Hervey Bay and the Fraser Coast, it is a great place to visit any time of the year."

Introducing The Palms Estate, Cairns - The Northern Beach's Premier Address

By Peter Gordon • April 26, 2023

Quiet simply, the Palms is the place to buy!

The northern beaches of Cairns is the Nation's best location for property investors right now, and The Palms is the premier development in this boom region.

It has the best location being elevated and backing onto the rainforest. It will have amazing facilities with a shopping village, a primary school, parks and green open space, a water park and an expanse of wildlife corridors.

It has taken the developers three years to get planning approval for this unique development to be able to hit the market. There are only 300 lots spread across 85 acres of the best land in The Northern Beaches.  Residents will have an abundance of open space right at their doorstep.  The Palms is also the only Certified Enviro Development project in Far North Queensland.

In the rivalry between Sydney and Melbourne, the winner is ... Brisbane

By Peter Gordon • April 20, 2023

Sydneysiders and Melburnians, put aside your equally outstanding flat whites for a moment. Stop bickering about whether great beaches beat cool laneways (they do) and desist from debating whether all baristas require waxed moustaches (ideally).

Because Brisbane is closing in on the title of Australia’s best city, and we must join forces to keep this subtropical upstart in its place.

Time  magazine recently named Brisvegas on its “World’s Greatest Places” list, and omitted our cities. It’s a huge shock (and who knew they still published Time  magazine?). But they might be onto something.

Time  points to the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which will be hosted in the maroon metropolis. Brisbane will do a fine job, even though it’ll baffle the world when rugby league is added to the schedule and Queensland is allowed to field its own team.

Time’s  most radical claim is that Brisbane is worth visiting now, but tourism is surging. Not only did Lin-Manuel Miranda recently drop in to catch Hamilton , but hundreds of Hamilfans flew up to watch his interview with Leigh Sales (presumably unaware that it would subsequently arrive on iView for free).
