Say hello to your new bloggers at the Woolshed backpackers – Maja and Andy! We traveled up and down the east coast until we found Hervey bay and decided to stay around for a while 🙂
Our personal little paradise – the AWESOME beach – is just a five minute walk from the hostel. As you can see it´s nowhere near as crowded as the guidebook-beaches you´ve probably already visited – if lucky, you have it all to yourself!
Hervey bay is a tropical little pearl and a gateway to Fraser Island, with a 16 km (!) long beach, heaps of flying foxes and wild kangaroos hanging out on the fields next door. The waters are perfect for kayaking or SUP-yoga and there´s even a little reef just outside the beach.
Wanna have a closer look? Follow The Woolshed Backpackers here or on Instagram/Facebook – we´ll tell you all about it!
