Run away from it all on this 7 day itinerary into an eco-tourists paradise. From Queensland's dazzling capital Brisbane, with its big city lights, travel a few hours by car to the Southern Great Barrier Reef. Allow Queensland's beautiful southern beaches to escort you along this awe-inspiring route - there's adventure, relaxation, and plenty of new experiences to be had.
Visit seaside communities, where time is always on your side. Explore the largest sand island in the world - World Heritage listed Fraser Island - what a delight! Witness the natural wonder of whales as they breach, slap and splash close by.
Encounter seventh heaven when you stay a while on a coral cay. Under a moonlit sky, watch in awe, as huge sea turtles come ashore at Mon Repos. There's lakes and dams to tempt the anglers, world-class walking tracks, colourful markets and field upon field of vines to explore. Up in the clouds taste locally grown delicacies by a flickering fire, or pitch the tent in a magnificent bunya pine forest and watch the wildlife go by.
There's so much more to uncover driving around this outstanding region so very close to Brisbane - it truly has the lot. Camp on deserted beaches or be pandered to at world-class resorts.
Note: This drive is accessible along sealed roads and suitable for 2WD vehicles. If you wish to self-drive Fraser Island or take the drive through the Kinkuna Section of Burrum Coast National Park a 4WD vehicle is required.
