Such a beautiful fresh water lake, only the depth changes the colour, so turquoise in the shallows. Try cleaning your jewellery in the sand. I have cleaned my watch and watch face many times, that tells you how soft the sand is. So pure.

An easy walk; some stairs (handy tip: take a water bottle) and then rewarded with spectacular views of the amazing sandblow. Kids: Take your boogie board if you want the thrill of riding down the sand dune. Great little adventure for families for an hour or two. Beautiful to watch the sunset if you’re timing is right (check sunset times)
3. Waddy Point

Always a picturesque place to visit with the drive along 75 mile beach thru the cuttings along the inland track to orchid beach take the turnoff to waddy point camping area and it will lead you to the beach.With views all the way to sandy cape.
4. Esplanade

Reviewed By glaitken1 - Nambour, Australia
This walk goes for miles - literally. I can't think of anywhere else in the world with such a relaxed walking environment, but complete with discrete toilets, picnic seating, regular access to the beach - and of course with a range of coffee shops, restaurants, ice-cream shops, motels and pubs just on the other side of the road. I hope that is never over-developed, so that it retains its ambience. 20 paces and you are off the walking track, and walking along the endless beach front, with a wide, gently sloping sandy beach, Frazer Island in the distance, and great shade spots under the bordering trees. Truly a paradise.

A lovely spot to hang out with family and friends for a few hours. Not as busy as McKenzie. Beautiful water and soft, white sand
6. Lake Wabby

Reviewed By aliciasings77 - Brisbane, Australia
The bushwalk into the lake was a bit of work but fun for our large group to do together. Beautiful forest to walk through, and by the time you get to the lake -stunning views and a secluded, beautiful spot - you’ve really earned a relaxing swim! The water is much deeper than at McKenzie and Birrabeen, so keep your kids close. The sand is so soft and beautiful here.
7. Seventy-Five Mile Beach

Drove along the Seventy-Five Mile Beach in a custom made 4wd coach as part of the Beauty Spots tour. Unique experience. Enjoyed every minute of the trip. Particularly enjoyed looking at the Maheno shipwreck. Also saw several wild dingos.
8. Central Station Rainforest

Reviewed By Noelleen2014 - Tamborine, Australia
No visit to Fraser Island is complete without a visit to Central Station. We drove there and enjoyed a BBQ in the picnic area followed by a short easy walk along a Chrystal clear creek. The lush rainforest completes the experience ... a definite must do.
9. Fraser Coast Wildlife Sanctuary

A small native zoo in Maryborough Queensland. Many native parrots, kangaroos, wallabies, snakes, lizards, and other native animals, Dingoes. Recently renovated and improved. Low entry fees, photo opportunities with native animals. Dingo and reptile encounters cost $5 reptile & $10 Dingo encounter were you get to get up close with them .

Native Aussie Animals up close. I'm almost embarrassed to say that I have lived in the region for over ten years and this was my first visit to this establishment. My two grand daughters and I enjoyed it immensely. The place is run by volunteers and is so well maintained. We totally enjoyed interacting with the animals and birds. Would recommend a visit to everyone, particularly overseas visitors. Just a lovely way to spend an hour plus.
