Make your way to Noosa and check into your hostel accommodation! You\u2019ll be staying at this hostel for a total of 2 nights (one before and one after your Fraser Island tour). In the evening, you\u2019ll attend a compulsory safety briefing at your hostel for your upcoming Fraser Island adventure.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div> \r\n
Leave your hostel early in the morning and head up to Rainbow Beach where you and the group will take the ferry across to Fraser Island. You will hit the first portion of 75 Mile Beach to Eurong where we head inland towards Lake McKenzie.<\/p>\n
Arrive at Lake McKenzie and take a dip in these incredibly pure, clear waters. Words do not do this amazing lake any justice. Drive to Central Station where we eat lunch, walk along the waters of the very special Wanggoolba Creek, and learn Fraser Island\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
You then leave for a drive back to 75 Mile Beach and onto your camp. Arrive at your incredible campsite and kick back after a long day or head up to Corrigin Sandblow for an amazing sunset.<\/p>\n
Dinner time! Cook a BBQ together with your new Fraser family and spend the night socialising together next to a campfire or under the covered seating area.<\/p>\n
Meal(s) included : Lunch, Dinner<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div> \r\n
Wake up early to a breakfast of toast and cereal before getting back in the cars to head further north. Arrive at the Champagne Pools to cleanse under waves crashing over into the natural rock pools, creating the bubbles where it gets its name.<\/p>\n
Then, head back to the cars again for a short drive to your next destination. Climb the stunning Indian Head (one of the few rock formations on the island) to spot the amazing marine wildlife that can be seen off of Fraser Island. If luck is on your side, you can normally spot humpback whales (August \u2013 October), sharks, sea turtles, dolphins, huge rays, and many schools of tropical fish.<\/p>\n
Next, a drive back to your camp for lunch and then onto the next location. A short drive down the beach is the largest creek on the eastern beach, Eli Creek. Take a walk up the boardwalk with a rubber ring and float down these serene waters, which pumps up to 4 million litres of fresh water into the sea every hour. The second to last location of the day is a short drive from Eli Creek and your camp, the Maheno shipwreck. As the sun lowers in the sky watch the rusty wreck against the sea sky and incredible coloured sands seen up the coast.<\/p>\n
Finally, a short stop at the Pinnacles on the way back to your camp. Seen from the beach, this sand formation is a prime example of the coloured sands seen all the way up the Fraser coastline.<\/p>\n
Arriving back at your camp to take a breather after an amazing day, wash away the sand in the amazing amenities block just a short walk from our campsite\u2026\u2026then more food! As part of your Fraser family, you get to cook spaghetti bolognaise together with garlic bread followed by another night of socialising under some of the southern hemisphere\u2019s most spectacular stars.<\/p>\n
Meal(s) included : Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div> \r\n
Wake up for your last day on Fraser to another quick and simple breakfast before setting off to our final location on the island. Drive a moderate distance down the Eastern Beach to the entrance of Lake Wabby. Here, we will walk for around 40-45 mins down a beautiful sand track through the bush and out onto the Hammerstone Sandblow. Located a short walk along the sand blow, Lake Wabby is the deepest lake on Fraser Island, so be sure to take a dip in its healing waters and kick back next to its shores. After our lunch on the beach, it is time to make our way back to the barge and Rainbow Beach. Arrive back at your accommodation in Noosa and get ready for one last night with your new Fraser family!<\/p>\n
