Hit Fraiser last weekend, was definitely the best place I have gone to in quite some time. Highly recommended for any holiday makers.
Take a trip to Fraser Island
Wind down your window and throw away your normal city roads and suburban worries. Fraser Island will teach you all about wide open pristine spaces, unspoilt beauty, lush rainforests, stunning freshwater lakes and the exhilaration of driving on sand, not monotonous bitumen.
The world’s largest sand island is a haven for adventure. Explore in your own 4WD or take a tour bus or even a H3 Hummer. Tackle the inland bumps and humps through towering satinay trees, abundant forest and picturesque sand dunes. Enjoy an invigorating swim in the emerald waters of Lake Wabby where Hammerstone Sandblow forms a wall of sand at its base. Lake Mackenzie shines sapphire blue, blessed with shores of snow-white sand.
On the quiet side of the island, blend seamlessly with nature at the award winning eco resort, Kingfisher Bay Resort and village. They offer a range of accommodation, restaurants, tours and activities. On the eastern side of the island, 4WD enthusiasts, fishermen and families enjoy campsites with rolling surf views and endless kilometres of sand highway.
Shipwrecks and sheltered bays flash by your window but be sure to stop and enjoy the view. Climb Indian Head and gaze down upon schools of fish, sharks, dolphins, rays and turtles, enjoying their own sea safari. They are probably having just as much fun as you.
Getting there:
Access to Fraser Island is from Hervey Bay or Rainbow Beach.
Hervey Bay is located 290km north of Brisbane and accessed by road, rail and air. TravelTrain has regular Tilt Train services into Maryborough with direct connections to Hervey Bay on the TrainLink coach.
By train:
To book your Tilt Train rail adventure call Traveltrain Holidays on 1800 627 655.
Further information:
Kingfisher Bay run vehicle barges from River Heads, about 15mins north of Maryborough on the road to Hervey Bay. The barge crossing from River Heads to Kingfisher Bay, Fraser Island, takes approximately 45minutes.
