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.
I grew up in Bowen in the 90s, my father was the editor of the newspaper there. If you want interesting stories let me know. You may end up making a Go to Bowen video after hearing them!
Wish you would turn the tv on watch a travel show narrated by you.I livid in Bowen 20 years ago could not wait to leave but like you say there’s something about it just the chill factor keep up the videos mate 👍
FMD I have had the misfortune of staying in two of your towns in overnight stays at Pubs. Charters Towers and this bastard. Only cause I had a flat tyre.
You forgot the chicken farm and salt flats , but I have a soft spot for drinking beer and watching the sunset eating fresh prawns that Bowen does very well .
Haha so good.. Commercial hotel looks nice... The contrast between the beauty of the coast line and those mines is wild. We really do know how to fuck a place .
let's close all coal mines and all factories and everything producing anything but aroma candles, because economy is based on flying with butterflies and running with rubbits on the green meadows
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.
Thanks Mick! Sorry about the delay - I'm travelling at the moment and currently working on two new videos, a doco for the main channel and another don't go to. Should have one of them out within a week!

Well, they are about to launch Australia's first orbit rocket since 1971 from Bowen, so that's interesting.
Literally only came to Bowen for the Bowen cinemas because my town didn’t have one

When an out of touch, hand-wringing Greenie goes to a remote town in NQ...... here you are.
You sound very butt hurt and slightly projective. Did you daddy leave to get milk and never come back or something? Hey, maybe he went to Bowen 😂
