Hervey Bay Historical Village & Museum

“Really loved this place. It has such a lot of historical items and stories to go through. However it is something to be experienced in the cooler months. It was crazy hot there in summer. I do wish they would install air conditioning in the cottages. I understand they want to preserve the historic space but we left the place early because it was stifling inside.”

“Good collection of buildings, vehicles and artefacts from around the region. Informative signs and lovely gardens”

“Choc-A-Bloc Full Of Real Life Historical Exhibits ... If like me, you are enthralled by the dynamic modern history of Australia, then you will want to spend an extended amount time here, as I did ... A huge amount of artifacts are on display and those exhibits range, from the farm, to the kitchen, to transport, technology, education, industry, tourism, gardening, nautical, ecological and almost everything else you can imagine, in between. Exploring this marvelous museum, was quite a self indulgent exercise for your truly, as childhood memories of formative family life in the 1970s, followed by retro tech recollections at the end of school and kicking off my working career in the 1980s, 1990s, through to the early 2000s, came rushing back to the front of my mind ... A highly enjoyable way to spend an hour or more, while spending time on the hidden gem that is The Fraser Coast.”
