RETIRE TO FRASER COAST, THE WHALE-WATCHING CAPITAL OF AUSTRALIA
Queensland’s Fraser Coast is a well-connected region about 260 km north of Brisbane. There are two airports located in Hervey Bay and Maryborough, where you can also find some great spots to visit. Hervey Bay is home to a lively esplanade, piers, picnic areas, restaurants and shops, and Maryborough has great museums and galleries.
Living in the Fraser Coast can help you achieve a healthy over 50s lifestyle. If you’re looking forward to enjoying fishing during your retirement, this region is home to one of the richest fisheries in the country. There are also plenty of outdoor spaces within easy reach, like safe beaches, beautiful botanic gardens and stunning natural attractions, including K’gari (Fraser Island) and Lady Elliot Island.
There are three major hospitals located in Bundaberg, Hervey Bay and Maryborough, which provide a wide range of health services. The Council also runs programs specially designed to help retirees and older citizens to live an independent and healthy life.
