A little on my new hometown Hervey bay
Just a quick overview on our new area a Population is around 76000 The area has a mild, sub-tropical climate with an average 30 °C (86 °F) in summer and 23 °C (73 °F) in winter. The coast is predominantly affected by the south east trade winds which keep a cool breeze throughout the summer.
Cyclones are a threat at times. In March 2009, Cyclone Hamish threatened the area, however it did not cross the coast. Fraser Island protects Hervey Bay from such extreme weather. Average rainfall for the year is 1,100 millimetres (43 in) with an average of 300 sunny days. Hervey Bay is the whale watching capital of Australia, with humpback whales migrating along the coast between April and October every year. Researchers at the Oceania Project conducted a 14 year study which found the bay was an important social hub for humpback whales.Whale number have increased from about 2,000 in 1992, to around 7,000 in 2005 We live in URANGAN and is a 2 minute drive to the beautiful beaches and BOAT CLUB ( of which we are members) This area offers so much for Seniors inc lawn bowls/tennis/bowling/huge outdoor pools/great promenade dining and of course FISHING in which we are absolute beginners !!(just to mention a few of the excellent facilities we are currently trying ) The Boat Club which offers entertainment most evenings,food is very cheap PLUS for your $12 annual fee a free meal/drink/free raffle tickets to the value of $5 and it is placed in the boat area with fantastic views he RSL club at the opposite end of the town offers similar options as the Boat Club .After living in lovely Perth for nigh on 30 yrs this town is very suitable for me and Annie We are now heading to Perth for the weekend to visit family and a few days in Sydney then back home here
