Attractions on a one day Fraser Island tour
Once on Fraser Island, the K’gari Explorer Tours day trip visits the following key sites. The exact itinerary is decided on the day, largely subject to the tides.
- Central Station: A former logging camp in the heart of the rainforest. There’s time to see the hoop pines and massive king ferns along the Wanggoolba Creek boardwalk
- The Pinnacles: Multi-coloured sand cliffs with several Aboriginal Dreamtime stories attached.
- 75 Mile Beach: K’gari’s main highway, which offers the exhilaration of sand driving, and the chance to see some wildlife. Between July and November, there’s a good chance of seeing humpback whales.
- Eli Creek: Emptying out onto 75 Mile Beach, Eli Creek is like a natural lazy river. Many visitors float along it in rubber tubes.
- The Maheno Shipwreck: The Maheno crashed into Fraser Island during a cyclone in 1935. Its slowly disintegrating wreck has been a defining image of the island since.
- Lake McKenzie: Also known as Boorangoora, the pristine, strikingly clear water of Lake McKenzie makes it one of the greatest swimming spots in Australia. There are white sand beaches on the shore, too.
