The world’s largest sand island, Fraser Island is World Heritage listed because of its diverse landscape and unique wildlife.
A 40-minute boat ride from Hervey Bay, it has long stretches of pristine beaches and freshwater lakes.
Attractions
Beach fishing is popular plus nature tours to discover the wonders of Lake McKenzie and its pure white silica sand and crystal-clear waters. A swim in freshwater Eli Creek and a visit to Lake Wabby with its deep green waters and large sand dune is a must. The coloured sand cliffs of The Cathedrals near Indian Head of 75 Mile Beach reveal a rainbow of colours. Along the famous 75 Mile you can see the famous shipwreck, the Maheno and the Champagne rock pools.
