After a quick 10 minute drive to the ferry, we board for a short barge crossing to World Heritage listed Fraser Island, the world’s largest sand island!

Once we land, we drive for around 1 hour to Eurong Resort along what’s known as Fraser Island’s beach highway, the 75 Mile Beach (with a speed limit of 80 km/49 mph)! There you can grab a coffee and a snack for morning tea (own cost).
Lake McKenzie

From here we head to the picturesque Lake McKenzie, famous for its amazing scenery and almost crystal clear waters. We'll enjoy lunch here with plenty of time to enjoy this Fraser Island favourite with some swimming and relaxing on the beach. After cooling off, we drive to our private campsite near the the beach where we'll enjoy an early dinner and stories with your new friends.

Afterwards we stop over at Maheno shipwreck, where the SS Maheno ran aground in 1935, for some photos and a short history lesson about this famous Fraser icon.
