Fraser Island Holidays

There’s something quite magical about first stepping foot on Fraser Island. Stretching over 120km, this raw, rugged sand island is utterly otherworldly. With its wild untamed beaches, towering old-growth forests, crystal-clear freshwater lakes, and bountiful wildlife this island offers one of Australia’s best wilderness adventures.

Eli Creek

Water so clear, you only know it’s there when a leaf floats past you. Its water that’s been filtered by the sand for up to 100 years OMG the purity. There are several creeks to visit and marvel at. Eli Creek the most famous for wading, tubing, or swimming through. Eli pumps nearly 4 million liters of fresh water in the ocean every hour.

Lake Mackenzie

In the middle of the island is Lake Mackenzie. Crystal clear water that glows iridescent blue and white silica sand so powdery soft waiting for you to clean yourselves and exfoliate your skin.

Wanggoolba Creek & Pile Valley

Take a stroll along the boardwalk next to Wanggoolba Creek, which carries clear water through a tranquil rainforest filled with ancient ferns. A short walk after lunch through the Pile Valley shows you will see some of the older and bigger Satinay trees the ones that were spared from the forestry felling.

Air Fraser Island

When you take a scenic joy flight with Air Fraser Island, you’ll see the pretty Butterfly Lake, surrounded by forest that looks like heads of broccoli. Air Fraser runs fifteen-minute joy flights from 75 Mile Beach all day long.

The Pinnacles Colored Rocks

As you drive along the east coast Fraser’s sand will continue to amaze as you come alongside The Pinnacles, a small section of colored sandy cliffs along the Surf Beach just north of the Maheno.

Fraser’s National Highway

It was fun to drive up and down 75 Mile Beach on the eastern side of the ocean. 75 Mile Beach is classed as part of the Bruce Highway so strict road rules apply.

The Maheno Shipwreck

Right near here washed up on shore at Happy Valley is one of the most photographed and visited sites on Fraser, the Maheno Shipwreck. The Maheno, a former Trans-Tasman luxury liner was washed up on shore in 1935 when she was being towed to Japan and a cyclone viciously ripped her from the chain and spewed her up on Fraser.
