Fraser Island



Lake Birrabeen was another stunning swimming hole. The soft white sand is absolutely amazing.

We stopped in at the Kingfisher Bay Resort and saw lots of fish along the pier. There were a few walking trails near the resort. We hiked up to the Northern lookout to see a breathtaking view of Hervey Bay.

First stop Monday morning was my favorite Lake McKenzie. The water was so clean and clear and the sand so white and fine. Very peaceful.

Lake Wabby was our last stop of the day before setting up camp for the second night. We had to climb 1.8k up a sand dune to get to the lake. The sun was intense and the lake was a welcome sight. We took a nice swim in the fresh water and then headed to Central Campsite.

Lake Garawongera and more beach driving...

First stop today was at the Champage Pools. They looked so much different with the low tide. There were little pools of crystal clear water in the rocks. It felt as if I was at Sea World looking in small touch pools filled with little living creatures.

Fraser Island





On our voyage up the beach we stopped at Eli Creek and waded in the crystal clear water before stopping at the Maheno Shipwreck. Next stop was the Champagne pools which looked out onto Indian Head. The bottom two photos were taken near our campsite right as the sun was setting. We had to set up camp in the dark, but it was worth it b/c we saw so much earlier in the day.
