Scarness, Hervey Bay, January 1971. As early as the 1880s a Maryborough promoter had subdivided foreshore allotments at Torquay-by-the-sea (west of Urangan). In 1954 the population was recorded under the descriptor 'Hervey Bay'. Its suburbs were Point Vernon (dress circle of the bay), Pialba (shopping centre), Scarness and Torquay (holiday areas), and Urangan (fishing) with Hervey Bay becoming known as the caravan capital of Australia.
