Tourism
Fraser Coast general manager Pip Close said the classic had become one
of the most exciting and eagerly anticipated events on the region’s
tourism calendar with fishing enthusiasts and their families travelling
from throughout South East Queensland and beyond to take part.
“This
year’s classic is shaping as one of the biggest and best yet, catering
for more than 1500 entrants all vying for over $45,000 in prizes
including an $11,000 fishing boat package,’’ she said.
“It
provides a tremendous extra incentive for families to visit the Fraser
Coast for Easter, where they can fish for great prizes and enjoy the
other delights of the region such as our scenic drive trails, beautiful
beaches, World Heritage Listed Fraser Island, historic attractions and
the newly opened Fraser Coast Cultural Centre.’’
Ms
Close said Burrum Heads accommodation would again be fully booked for
this year’s competition, with nearby centres including Maryborough and
Hervey Bay nearing capacity also.
“There
are still competition spaces and great accommodation options available
but the advice would be to act fast to avoid disappointment,’’ Ms Close
said.
The Burrum Heads Easter Fishing Classic runs from Friday March 29 to Sunday April 1st , based at the Lions Park.
The program includes a kids’ clinic, raffles and giveaways plus junior and senior prizes for heaviest bream, whiting, flathead, trumpeter, golden trevally, flounder, pike and more.
