| An early start to explore
Seventy-Five Mile Beach, perhaps the world's most amazing beach highway. Eli Creek (see photo at top of page) - a great spot for a refreshing dip! Float down this fast-flowing freshwater creek which pours out 80 megalitres of water daily. Maheno Shipwreck - washed ashore during a cyclone in 1935, this rusting wreck is one of Fraser's essential photo stops. Coloured Sands - With all the colours of the rainbow (well just the reds really), these vibrant sand cliffs are another favourite photo stop.  Indian Head - climb to the top of this rocky headland for awesome
beach and ocean views ... look out for sharks, rays and humpback whales
(Jul - Nov).Champagne Pools (pictured) - chill out in these bubbling ocean rock pools, you won't want to leave! Air Fraser offers spectacular scenic flights over the island - book with your guide on tour (extra cost applies). Includes buffet breakfast, picnic lunch and buffet dinner. |

A relaxed day visiting a few of Fraser's lesser known treasures. As this
is your last day, don't forget to leave your luggage at the Wilderness
Lodge storage area for the porters. Lake Wabby - walk through cool rainforest to beautiful emerald-green Wabby, Fraser's deepest lake and a favourite swimming hole. Hammerstone Sandblow - trek over one of Fraser's vast desert-like sand blows ... no wonder Fraser Island is the world's largest sand island!  Eurong Beach Resort - enjoy a relaxed poolside BBQ lunch at the resort's Beach Bar, overlooking Seventy-Five Mile Beach. Lake Birrabeen - if you loved Lake McKenzie then Birrabeen will allure you with its sparkling clear waters and dazzling white beaches ... you won't be able to resist a dip, a great way to finish the tour! Includes buffet breakfast and BBQ lunch. The tour returns to Kingfisher Bay Resort at around 4.30pm to meet the 5.00pm ferry back to Hervey Bay, arriving at approximately 5.50pm... then be dropped off at your Hervey Bay accommodation for some well earned rest! |

 Forget
fidgety nights with tents and sleeping bags... comfortable
Wilderness Lodges promise a good night's rest on Fraser! The modern timber lodges are surrounded by gum trees, bush plants and native birds, so you will still get your nature fix! Each lodge has twin, double and quad-share bedrooms, all fully screened. Bedrooms have ceiling fans to keep you cool during summer and heating for those chilly winter nights. Linen, blankets and bath towels are provided and there's separate male and female bathrooms, each with two showers. Lodges have an open lounge area and kitchenette with tea and coffee making facilities. Ironing facilities are also available, and there's a coin-laundry nearby. The Wilderness Lodges are located on the hill north-east of Kingfisher Bay Resort's main complex (and just across from the Dingo Bar... very handy!!) There's a regular shuttle service between the lodges and resort - check transfer times with your guide. |
