What to do and see in Fraser Island, Queensland: The Best Nature & Parks

April 6, 2022 Phylicia Berquist

The turquoise waters surrounding Fraser Island are a frenzy of sea life. The world’s largest sand island is a spectrum of vibrant greens, and the World-Heritage-listed sand bar is simply stunning and the perfect spot for beach fishing. There aren’t paved roads here, just sand tracks, making the entirety of Fraser Island one big 4WD, off-roading adventure.

Lake McKenzie

Reviewed By Hervey2 - Hervey Bay, Australia

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.

Boomanjin lake

Reviewed By JJ_Cairns

We visited Boomanjin Lake yesterday and it was stunning! While Lake McKenzie has the blue waters, this one has coloured sands and beautiful surrounds. We didn’t swim, but sat beneath some gum trees and enjoyed the serenity and cool breeze. Saw this dingo on the road in too - bonus!!

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.

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.
