This tour combines Cooloola and Fraser Coast attractions to make a great short break away. Join us on the lovingly restored Mary Valley Rattler, a steam train journey reminiscent of a bygone era. Another highlight of the tour will be our whale watching cruise from Hervey Bay to experience the annual migration of the mighty Humpback Whales as they make their way to warmer tropical waters.
