Explore Fraser Island by 4WD

Collect your car in Hervey Bay and cruise across to Fraser Island. First stop is Basin Lake where you can meet the resident freshwater turtles, before heading on past ancient rainforests to Wanggoolba Creek and Lake McKenzie with its white sandy beach and crystal clear waters. After an afternoon swim head back to your overnight accommodation.

Get an early start to explore Seventy Five Mile Beach - float down the fast-flowing Eli Creek and visit the Maheno shipwreck which washed ashore in a cyclone in 1935. Climb to the top of Indian Head for awesome beach and cliff views, and look out for sharks, rays and humpback whales (Jun-Oct). Chill out in the bubbling Champagne Pools.

Walk through the cool rainforest to beautiful emerald-green Lake Wabby - the island’s deepest lake and a favourite swimming hole. Trek over the vast Hammerstone Sandblow and enjoy a poolside BBQ lunch at Eurong Beach Resort, before catching the ferry back to the mainland.
