COOL DINGO ‘DAY 1' 4WD TOUR
Today we check out some of Fraser's coolest, sub-tropical inland sights.
Basin Lake - first
stop is beautiful Basin Lake - get up close and personal with the
resident freshwater turtles - in this delightful perched dune lake!
Central Station - no trains or whistles here - just peaceful, ancient rainforest and the reminders of a former, once bustling logging camp.
Wanggoolba Creek - walk along the banks of this silent flowing creek with lush green rainforest and rare king ferns... it's simply breathtaking.
Pile Valley - check out the giant satinay trees on this forest walk.
Lake McKenzie -
with its white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters, picture perfect
Lake McKenzie is even prettier than the postcards. Enjoy a refreshing
afternoon swim before heading back to Kingfisher Bay Resort.
Includes picnic lunch and buffet dinner.
COOL DINGO ‘DAY 2' 4WD TOUR
An early start to explore Seventy-Five Mile Beach, the world's most gorgeous beach highway.
Eli Creek - a great
spot for a refreshing dip! Float down this fast-flowing freshwater
creek - which pours out 80 megalitres of water daily - to the seaside.
Maheno Shipwreck -
washed ashore during a cyclone in 1935, this rusting wreck is one of
Fraser Island's iconic photo stops. You won't be disappointed.
The Pinnacles Coloured Sands
- With all the colours of the rainbow (well just the reds, oranges,
ochres and creams really) these vibrant sand cliffs are another
favourite photo stop.
Indian Head - climb
to the top of this rocky headland for awesome island and ocean views...
look out for sharks, rays and migrating humpback whales (Jul - Nov).
Champagne Pools - chill out in these bubbling ocean rock pools, you won't want to leave!
Air Fraser offers spectacular scenic flights over the island - book with your guide on tour (extra cost applies).
Includes buffet breakfast, picnic lunch and buffet dinner.
COOL DINGO ‘DAY 3' 4WD TOUR
A
relaxed day visiting a few of Fraser's lesser well known beauty spots.
As this is our last day on island, don't forget to leave your luggage at
the Wilderness Lodge storage area for our porters.
Lake Wabby - walk
through cool rainforest to beautiful emerald-green Wabby, Fraser's
deepest lake and a favourite swimming hole. It's so completely
different to the rest of the island's lakes and a real favourite of
ours.
Hammerstone Sandblow - trek over one of Fraser's vast desert-like sand blows - no wonder it's the world's largest sand island - to the beach!
Eurong Beach Resort - for lunch we head to Eurong for their famous all-you-can-eat lunch buffet.
Lake Birrabeen - if
you loved Lake McKenzie then Birrabeen will allure you with its
sparkling clear waters and dazzling white beaches... you won't be able
to resist a dip. We think it's a great way to finish the tour!
Includes buffet breakfast and BBQ lunch.
The tour returns to Kingfisher Bay
Resort at around 4.30pm to meet the 5.00pm ferry back to Hervey Bay,
