Hervey Bay Hotel & Resort
Mindful I`m an Ex-Maryboroughite having done all my schooling there & I`ve been keen on Hervey since my childhood when it`s population was less tan 2,000. As a change of venue we were experiencing the hotel accommodation for the 1st time & found we couldn`t improve it in any way. It`s a real pity ...
