VMR 466 - Hervey Bay

Our Rescue Base is situated within the Urangan Boat Harbour, overlooking Fraser Island, the world's largest "Sand Island".

Image Our operational area covers all of Hervey Bay and extends North from the Breaksea Light Buoy (approximately 20 nautical miles from the northern tip of Fraser Island), Southwest to Woodgate and South to Boonlye Point, approximately mid-way down the Great Sandy Straits.

Hervey Bay is reputed as being one of the best "Whale Watching" areas in Australia. Each year these gentle giants visit us for a short period of rest and recreation before continuing their migration South to the colder waters of the Antarctica.

Apart from "Whale Watching", Hervey Bay offers anglers some of the best game fishing opportunities all year round.

In order for VMR466 to provide protective coverage, we urge the boating fraternity using our wonderful waterways to log on with us or with one of our affiliated squadrons before departure.

About Hervey Bay and Fraser Island

Hervey Bay is one of Queensland’s best natural holiday destinations. Where else but Queensland do you get “beautiful one day - perfect the next” Hervey Bay offers convenient access to World heritage listed Fraser Island – the largest sand island in the world; and Lady Elliot Island – the first coral cay on the Southern Great Barrier Reef.

Hervey Bay offers visitors a variety of natural attractions, experiences and activities. Hervey Bay has also gained recognition as the Whale Watching Capital of the World – with the majestic Humpback whales stopping in to relax in the region’s calm waters, on their yearly migration south, from mid July to November. Approximately 60 000 visitors per annum experience the pure exhilaration of Hervey Bay whale watching.

Hervey Bay is blessed with a public reserve esplanade stretching the whole length of the Bay. The Bay is complimented by pristine sandy beaches and sheltered waters, providing safe swimming conditions all year round.
