Description

With the magnificent 75 Mile Beach as its main road, Eurong, on World-Heritage listed Fraser Island is an idyllic destination for four wheel drive enthusiasts, nature lovers, beach bums and adventure seekers of all kinds.

From beautiful Eurong you can explore all this unique, pristine sand island has to offer. Up the beach you'll find towering cliffs of coloured sands, the Maheno shipwreck, crystal-clear Eli Creek, rock pools and the imposing craggy monolith of Indian Head. Climb to the top for breathtaking views of the island and ocean brimming with manta rays, turtles, dolphins, dugongs and colourful fish.

Beach fishing on Fraser Island is superb so be sure to pack your bait, line and tackle.

The community of Eurong, while small, has a good range of amenities and facilities including a bakery, and a well-stocked grocery store with ice, camping and fishing supplies.

There is accommodation to suit all budgets from self-contained apartments to backpacker beds and camping on the beach.

Access to Fraser Island is via vehicle barge from River Heads at Hervey Bay, or Inskip Point, one and a half hour's drive north of Noosa. Fraser Island is only suitable for four wheel drive vehicles, which are also available for hire on the island.
