Hervey Bay, Queensland is the 'Home of the Humpback' and the Humpback Whale watching capital of the world. Its pristine waters play host to this majestic mammal annually and to celebrate, the Bay comes alive for the month of August. Hosting events incorporating live music, workshops, an illumination parade, lectures, aquatic events, arts, sculpture, carnival rides and fireworks, it’s 40 tonne of fun.
