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.

We take a week long trip to Fraser Island every January. We just love camping and the island is so naturally beautiful. There are plenty of nice beach camping spots and some great swimming holes. A great place to take the family!!

I have travelled overseas extensively, but have not seen anything that compares to Lake Mackenzie on Fraser Island. I have not visited Fraser Island for many years and would love to one day again swim in Lake Mackenzie (if it is still permitted).

Fraser Island is the most beautiful place in Australia. We're lucky that it's only a couple of hours away for us, but everyone should do it, even once, no matter where they live...

Fraser Island is like a dream come true, the sand, water and sky it is like nothing you've seen before. I fell in love with my island when i first set foot on her when i was 12.
