Bowen is a charming old-style town located strategically between Mackay and Townsville; it’s a 2-hour drive from either region. The town has a calm and relaxed vibe, but you will be surprised with the fun hidden in the city and its people. The town has a population of over 10,000 people and a close sex ratio of 50:50. The town was initially occupied by the Juru people, but today it is a face of the world with people from all over living in the town.

Bowen provides the best romantic gateway, and you don’t have to try hard to impress your new found love on your first date. The Bowen’s beaches engage you in a snorkelling session, swimming, or just relaxing and watch nature at its finest. Flagstaff Hill will give you a perfect environment to set up your picnic and give you a 360 degrees view of the beaches. For a more elite and fun date, you can go down memory lane and visit the Bowen Historical Museum.
