Hervey Bay Airport

Burger 61 - I was at the new HVB Terminal in Jan last year and was quite impressed. I remember getting lamblasted in the local press mid 90s for daring to say that I thought Hervey Bay would become the major airport in the Maryborough area. It wasn't until I'd left to go to England that a new Terminal was contructed and then the jets arrived. I believe that Marybourgh Airport then closed down. Nice to know it happened even if I wasn't there.
I didn't realise that the Noosa Crews overnighted in the old terminal. That would explain the shower that was there and the two 'store rooms' at the back. I alwas thought those facilities were for the Council's Airport Caretaker who lived in a caravan on site but had no other facilities. As they say, you never stop learning.
