Between Pialba and Torquay, Scarness is the site of the original Hervey Bay holiday centre. In those early days, anyone looking for a bay side holiday headed towards Scarness. This was where the term 'the caravan capital of Australia' came about. The Bay still offers ample holiday park facilities that are right beside the beach.
Scarness is home to the Maryborough Sailing Club, and the members take to the water en masse particularly between September and April. There is also private boat access. Not to mention wheelchair access too. Wheelchair access includes floating wheelchairs.
Culture with a capital 'C' is also experienced in these parts. There's almost constant use of the Z Pack Theatre, when local amateur thespians hit the boards.
