There is a certain place in Queensland, Australia, where the Susan River meets the Mary River and together they spill out into the Great Sandy Strait.
Mary River Heads is known in the abbreviated form of 'River Heads' and the community here is varied: young families, couples either working locally or semi-retired and the elderly retirees just enjoying the Queensland semi-tropical climate.
 
The real estate reflects these needs and there is a wide variety to choose from small houses on small blocks to large houses on acreage. The 'village' atmosphere is reflected by the well supported local shopping centre , community hall and a good number of groups for a variety of leisure-time activities.

Hervey Bay is a mere 15 minute drive away with public and private hospitals, schools, banks, supermarkets and a wide variety of shops and restaurants.
 

For recreation, take your pick from local golf courses, bowling, footy, cricket, fishing, flying, boating, swimming, snorkelling, wind surfing, cycling, walking, bird watching, whale watching in season, dolphin watching all year around and so on and so on!

Hervey Bay's newly expanded airport is situated 5 minutes drive from River Heads and now has direct flights from Sydney, Brisbane and in the near future Melbourne.

River Heads is surrounded by fascinating places...
