So, dig out your warm woolies, put on your rubber boots, grab your umbrella and enjoy the scenic 20-minute ferry ride to Bowen. You might be pleasantly surprised at how much fun you have exploring, even on a chilly winter day.
If you want to escape the big city, and you’re willing to embrace a simpler way of being, you’ll find small-town charm, artistic creativity and, occasionally, a little inconvenience. You won’t find any big box stores or fast-food franchises here.
For many years Bowen was primarily considered a summer venue. Now we welcome visitors to enjoy the beauty of each season – dazzling fall colours, refreshing winter winds and rains, early spring blossoms and, of course, stunning summer sunshine.
