WHAT better way to spend Valentine's Day than cruising to your heart's content through World Heritage-listed paradise?

Just a short ferry ride from Hervey Bay, you'll feel a world away, just the two of you together on the largest sand island on the planet.

DOUBLE DERRIERE AT THE DAY SPA

BIRRABEAN... HAVE YOU TWO BEEN?

After all, if it's good enough for the world's royalty (and media) to travel here, then all of us here need to take advantage of the world-class sights and experiences that we have such easy access to in our backyard.
