Hi there
unfortunately Trove only covers up 1954 at this stage.
Most newspapers have an online archive for a small fee
Also try the Ryerson Index.

Leanne the following newspapers are currently published in Hervey Bay -

Fraser Coast Chronicle, Hervey Bay Independent and The Hervey Bay Observer

I wonder if the local library could help you or point you in the right direction.

We have a kind chatter who regularly visits the National Library of Aus.  Copies may be archived there.  I will send her a pm and link this thread.

Cheers

Thanks Steve for the  response.
I expect this particular case will hold information of a graphic nature as the accident was quite nasty.
