Top 15 Things To In Queensland
11 (3) Do Nothing at Daintree / Cape Tribulation
Breath it in, soak it up. Go for a quiet walk along the beach do
anything so long as it’s not much and not rushed. This your
holiday, your time, take it slow and to your own agenda. Paradise
will be lost to you if you don’t slow down long enough to
see it.
Spiritual Daintree
Take time out to truly see and experience the almost spiritual
feel to the Daintree and Cape Tribulation. It will be one of the
memories you walk away with.
Daintree Love
If you can - stay awhile. However, do not fall in love with the
Daintree. The pain of catching the ferry for the last time will
break your heart. The ferry master has little time for emotional
tourists. Still, you can always come back.

13 (41) Fraser Island
At 123 kilometres long, 240 metres high and 184 000 hectares in
size Fraser Island is the biggest sand island you will ever see.
World Heritage listed Fraser Island
World Heritage listed Fraser Island is much loved by locals and
visitors alike. Fraser Island's Dingo population are less popular.
Please admire from a distance as these doggies most definitely bite.
Fraser Island - 100 freshwater lakes
Now I have scared you off, you will find Fraser island is a place
of exceptional beauty, with uninterrupted white sandy beaches flanked
by distinctly coloured sand cliffs. Fraser island boasts over 100
freshwater lakes, some are tea-coloured whilst others are clear
and blue and exquisite to swim in. Most of Fraser Island’s
lakes are ringed by white sandy beaches.
Fraser Island Rainforest
Fraser Island’s ancient rainforests grow in sand along the
banks of fast-flowing, crystal-clear creeks. The magnificent wildflower
bloom in spring and summer adding to the islands colour and vibrancy.
Great Sandy Strait
The Great Sandy Strait, separating Fraser Island from the mainland,
is an important wetlands area. Among the 40,000 migratory shorebirds
the wetlands are home to rare and endangered species such as Dugongs.
How Long should you stay on Fraser Island?
A single day will not be enough to get the most out of Fraser Island
but understand if you have no choice (I just pity you). Two or three
days will probably do it unless you love camping and can afford
the time.
Stay a-while Fraser Island, Queensland
The reality is you probably should sell everything you own and
stay in Queensland for as long as you physically can but it would
be irresponsible to suggest any such thing so don’t do it
(but I know the feeling)
14 (42) The Fraser Sea - Hervey Bay

an island and a many a beautiful and splendid things it is to be
seen on, off and in the beautiful Fraser Sea of off Fraser Island.
