FRASER ISLAND NEED TO KNOW
THINGS TO DO?
Fraser has 27 fresh water lakes to choose from and of course has many more charms to offer, including:
- Lake McKenzie - picture perfect with crystal clear turquoise fresh water and some of the whitest and softest sands in the world
- Lake Wabby - enjoy a walk through the rainforest to the top of the sand dunes and reward yourself by sliding down into the refreshing emerald green tea tree oil waters
- Maheno Ship Wreck - the remains of an old shipwreck, which can be seen close up on the beautiful 75 mile stretch of beach, which is also a highway and landing strip for air planes
- Eli Creek - a fresh water lazy river, often dubbed as "hangover creek", known for its hangover curing properties - a must see on Fraser
- Champagne pools - indulge yourself in some amazing natural jacuzzies, where the waves crash onto the pool's rocks, forming bubbles into white foam, much like champagne
