Day 6 - Maryborough, Gympie and Cooloola

Montville, Queensland

Depart Hervey Bay after a sensational beachside dining experience, to continue the last leg of the Naturally Delicious Great Beach Drive. From Hervey Bay, continue onto the historic town of Maryborough, the home of the creator of Mary Poppins – PL Travers. The streetscapes of Maryborough’s original wharf district, Portside is full of tastes and sounds, remaning relatively unchanged from its days as a thriving river port, when it was one of Australia’s largest and busiest destinations for immigrants in the mid to late 1800’s. Between Maryborough and Gympie, you can also sample delicious macadamia nuts from the small Fraser Coast town of Bauple at the Barenuts macadamia nut orchard. Continue along the Bruce Highway to the last stop of your Naturally Delicious Great Beach Drive experience. The stunning Gympie Cooloola region is also home to fantastic natural produce for you to enjoy and explore. Check into your accommodation on the Sunshine Coast for your last night of the Naturally Delicious Great Beach Drive itinerary, and choose from the variety of resorts, lodges, holiday house and bed and breakfasts that are on offer on the Sunshine Coast.
