| Here at Hervey
Bays' Fraser Escape Backpackers & 4x4 Tours we offer what we believe
to be the best value adventure tours on Fraser Island - Queensland. The
budget conscious traveler who wants value-for-money will be impressed
with our tour packages and budget accommodation. Below is a suggested itinerary. |
 |
| Day 1 |
|
Enjoy a 30 minute
cruise across the Great Sandy Straits, with top deck views for
miles. Within 10 minutes of disembarking you are among Fraser
Island's most splendid rainforest.
A stop at Central Station is a must and we suggest following the
signs for a walk alongside Wanggoolba Creek with its crystal waters
and special vegetation - dense palms, unique ferns and forest giants
that only grow on Fraser Island. Continuing on you will find Basin
Lake
We suggest you then
drive to beautiful Lake McKenzie for lunch and a swim. The sand is
so pure here that some people use it to clean their jewellery and
watch faces.
After lunch you will
need to collect an armful of wood from near the toilets and fill all
your water bottles.
As a courtesy to
other campers, if you are going to make noise then camp on the
beach.
|
|
Drive north along the
beach to Eurong Resort then drive a further 1.6 Kilometres to your
camp-site for the night.
|
| Day 2 |
|
After breakfast, drive to Happy
Valley to replenish supplies of ice, drinks etc then on to Eli
Creek where the water flows so fast it will carry you from the
forest to the beach. Do not forget to use low 4WD.
Drive to the famous wreck of the
Maheno then on to the Pinicals and coloured sands. |
|
|
By this time you may
be hungry so call in at Dundabarra Camp Ground for lunch. After
lunch remember to collect firewood and fill your water bottles
then drive to Indian Head to set up camp for the night.
Before settling in
for the night visit the headland and the Champagne Pools.
|
|
|
|
| Day 3 |
| On this last
day of your Fraser Island adventure you should leave camp by 9:00am and
stop off at Dunabarra Camp to wash up if you need to then visit Lake
Wabby (1 hour in - 1 hour out) then drive down to the barge stopping in
at Lake McKenzie for a swim if time permits.
Driving time, depending on conditions and
tides, from Lake Wabby to the barge is approximately 1.5 hours. Do not
be late for the barge as they never wait.
Access to some lakes and sections of the
beach may change depending on tides and conditions. |

This place rocks, Frazer was an experience - it absolutely bucketed
rain on us, but was excellent. Shane brightens up the place in any
dull moments.

See ya, Fiona

Wow! What can I say? great trip, great views (of Shane), great lakes.
Thanks a bunch. I learnt "a lot" of things over the past few
days. I am now an expert on the "wildlife" and it's all down
to you big boy! Highly recommended. Getting more sleep though.

Fraser Escape made the trip the highlight of my stay in OZ so far.
Jake treated us like family and I was made to feel like a king. I
would recommend them very highly.
