Description
Although Bowen might be regarded as a synonym for mangoes and tomatoes throughout eastern Australia, this town sitting halfway between Mackay and Townsville has more to offer than the fruits of its rich soils.
Bowen’s pride is the chain of eight, unsullied, safe bay beaches which attract swimmers, fishermen and beachcombers. The beaches are within a 5 kilometre radius of the Post Office and many are fringed with inshore reefs. In fact, snorkellers can swim to these reefs from the beaches on Horseshoe, Murray, Greys and Rose Bays.
Mullers Lagoon is a vast sanctuary for both waterfowl and birdwatchers. Coral trout, red emperor, sweetlip and other reef varieties await anglers on the inshore reefs of Bowen's most popular and accessible bay beaches.
Bowen is now home to the famous 'BIG MANGO'. This is situated next to the Bowen Visitor Information Centre on the Bruce Highway.
