How to get to the Fraser Coast

By Car

The Fraser Coast is within driving distance from Queensland’s Capital, Brisbane, with Maryborough being just three hours drive (255 kilometres) north of Brisbane along the Bruce Highway. Hervey Bay is a further 34 kilometres north-east of Maryborough, Childers is 60 kilometres north of Maryborough on the Bruce Highway and Tin Can Bay and Rainbow Beach can also be accessed via Gympie or Maryborough.

If you do travel by road, you can explore the diversity of the beautiful Fraser Coast coastline, as well as the diversity of the Fraser Coast Hinterland. From the calm waters of Hervey Bay to the surf in Rainbow Beach, there is no better way to see all the Fraser Coast has to offer than from the comfort of your own vehicle!
