Fraser Coasting... Find your bliss...
Fraser Island
This World Heritage-wonder and largest sand island on the planet is the region’s number 1 tourist attraction and will surprise and delight you. With everything from resorts to bush camping, this is one of the most awe-inspiring wilderness islands on earth with beautiful bluehued freshwater lakes, rainforest thousands of years old growing out of the sand and 75 miles of beach doubling as a 4WD “highway” and light aircraft landing strip.
Whale watching
Hervey Bay is the only place in Australia where humpback whales stop to rest and play for up to 10 days on their migration journey from the Antarctic to the northern tropics. The calm waters are used as a nursery during September and October where mothers teach their calves life skills and glide in for a closer look at the passengers aboard whale watching vessels.
Lady Elliot Island
The southern Great Barrier Reef coral cay of Lady Elliot Island is just next door to Hervey Bay via a 40-minute scenic flight over Fraser Island and the Great Sandy Strait. It’s one of the few places on the Queensland coast where it is possible to step off the beach directly onto the reef, where you can swim with manta rays and turtles in an unrivalled, nature experience.
