Don't go to Bowen

In this episode, we visit Bowen in North Queensland to figure out why a town that's hell bent on boring the boots off everyone that visits it is such a sought after holiday destination.

    I moved to Bowen this year and I must say, this description is pretty spot on. I still reckon it's pretty underrated. If you fish, spearfish, play golf or do hard drugs, it's paradise.

    I worked on all Whitsunday islands for years but I often took my breaks in Bowen. At least Bowen has beautiful easily accessible beaches unlike Airlie( so called) Beach. Also easy access to the uninhabited islands north of Whitsunday. The big thing though is you aren't paying a fortune in a plastic la la land.

    Pretty good video, Bowen is one of those places where it could’ve been something like apparently at one point it was supposed to be the capital for Queensland before that was given to Brisbane but apart from the beaches which are really nice btw, like you said, it’s kinda just really boring outside of doing meth and other hard drugs. At least for people from the Whitsundays it’s got the cinema and KFC which is the only reason why any of us locals even make the trip up there but I fear, that time might be up soon with KFC opening soon in Cannonvale

    The capital was not only going to maybe, be Bowen. Also on the list was Toowoomba which it actually was for a bit. That's why the first train line was up the range to Toowoomba as it was suppose to be the capital. Also, Redcliffe and Gladstone were prospects. But Ipswich was the actual planned Capital. But it was Brisbane due to the geographical harbour position for boats imports. It was never going to be Bowen.
