Queensland Rail’s Executive General Manager Customer Service Martin Ryan said the showcase would give about 70,000 customers who travel through Central station each day during peak the chance to speak with travel staff to help plan their getaway to the coastal region.
“We’ve got an exciting two mornings planned at Central station with an estimated 1000 people expected to stop and chat with staff from Queensland Rail Travel, Tourism and Events Queensland, Mantra Hervey Bay, Tasman Venture and Kingfisher Bay Resort,” Mr Martin said.

“The Fraser Coast showcase is the perfect opportunity for customers to speak one-on-one with staff and to get all the information they need to plan a holiday not too far from home.”
Mr Ryan said Queensland Rail had been a proud supporter of the Fraser Coast region for more than 145 years and would continue to generate tourism to the area through its rail packages.
“In the last financial year we had more than 69,000 customers travelling on our Tilt Train, Sunlander and Spirit of the Outback services stopping in Maryborough,” he said.
“Through this partnership with Tourism and Events Queensland, we’d like to see these numbers grow even more.
“Now is the perfect time to visit the Fraser Coast with fares on the Tilt Train from Brisbane to Hervey Bay from just $64 one-way.
“The Fraser Coast boasts some of the world’s best natural attractions, including the world heritage-listed Fraser Island and the migration of majestic humpback whales.
“One of our most popular packages is the Three Day Whale Watch Getaway Package, including a whale watching tour that is not to be missed.
“We also have limited seats available onboard our Gourmet MasterClass trip to Hervey Bay, where customers will be treated to a unique culinary experience from celebrity chef Andrew Mirosch.”
