When we arrived in Hervey Bay, late in the afternoon, we were surprised how quite it was with plenty of accommodation
available even though it was the Christmas school holidays. In the winter it
gets very busy and it is necessary to book accommodation and powered
sites in advance.
After settling in to our accommodation we headed to the Esplanade for some
fish and chips. It is very pleasant to sit on a picnic table with views of the
ocean and one of several small piers along the waterfront.
We were pleased to see a number of Cockatiels
come in to roost as the light was fading.
One of the many nice things about Hervey Bay is
taking a stroll along the beach as the sun sets.
On our walk to historic Urangan Pier we saw a gecko and a Rhinoceros Beetle.

All the photos in this blog were taken in December 2014.
Good luck setting up your new computer - I had to endure similar troubles at the start of this year!
ReplyDeleteSurprised to see the Cockatiels, have never seen them in the wild myself and always think of them as desert birds.
Perhaps peak season for Hervey Bay is when the whales are there?
