FRASER COAST

Islands and Beaches

The incoming tide is about to engulf the sandcastle painstakingly crafted by the kids. One more wave and the outer defenses of the fortress will be breached! And here it comes! The kids squeal in delight and mock dismay as their creation crumbles into the sea.

Not to worry, the fall of a sandy empire comes just in time for lunch! The fish and chip shop is only metres away, and a short stroll from the ice cream parlour. This is Hervey Bay, home of the perfect seaside holiday and the calm sheltered waters of the Great Sandy Strait.

Across the waters from Hervey Bay lies Word Heritage listed Fraser Island. This pristine island is surrounded by glorious white sandy beaches and peppered with clear inland lakes. On the eastern side, 75 Mile Beach is a designated four wheel drive area, while other beaches are perfect for world-class fishing or simply relaxing and enjoying the views.

The mirror-like finish of exquisite Lake McKenzie and the crystal clear waters of beautiful Eli Creek are must sees while you’re on this ancient and fascinating island.
