Explore the Maheno Shipwreck

Maheno in Maori translates to ‘island’, which is fitting for where this ship has washed up. Built in Scotland to serve as an ocean liner, the ship sailed between Australia and New Zealand, until in 1936 when a cyclone caused the vessel to wash up on the shores of Fraser Island’s 75 Mile Beach.

Indian Head – a great lookout point

For an instagram-worthy moment, head over to the northern edge of 75 Mile Beach and climb up Indian Head. You’ll want to make sure you’re fully charged, as you are rewarded with stunning 360-degree views of the island and ocean.

Eli Creek – a treat on hot days

Hidden between clumps of tall trees, Eli Creek is a pretty neat treat on a long hot day. Jump in and cool off in this creek, spilling a total of 80 million litres of water to the ocean daily.

Enjoy the environs of Lake McKenzie

This is Fraser Island’s picture postcard location. The lake spills from sandy shores, boasting crystal clear waters of lightest blue, unspoilt pure silica white sand beaches and wide expansive skies above. The perfect place for a lazy morning swim and relax.

Take a walk with nature

One for the environmentalist, the walkway across Central Station, offers you a taste of Fraser Island’s lush rainforest. Enjoy the bliss of walking through tall trees, shrouded by exotic ferns as you look out for shy wildlife in amongst the foliage.

Coloured Sands of nature

Located on 75 Mile Beach, Coloured Sands is a spot where the phenomenon of sand erosion over thousands of years have created a kaleidoscope of red, yellow, brown and orange shores.

Champagne Pools for chilling out

Nature’s Jacuzzi –  the Champagne Pools are formed when the tide washes over the rocks, filling the natural rock pools to the brim. Step in, sit back and relax as nature soothes away your cares.
