15 Things To In Queensland, Australia
What
to do 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.

of Australia's Great Barrier Reef the Daydream Island resort is

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)
Visit Fraser Island
 One
of Fraser Island's Stunning Lakes
If you want to visit
Fraser Island you would be advised to overnight to make the most
of your stay. A tour will help to ensure you see the best bits.
On route you'll see the
Glass House Mountains and Sunshine Coast before arriving at Rainbow
Beach. On Fraser Island itself you will experience 75 Mile Beach
and Eli Creek. The lovely board walk to the top of the creek will
stick in your memory almost as much as floating down this picturesque
stream.
After that you will
walk through a lush coastal eucalypt forest which opens out to the
deepest lake on Fraser Island, the famous Lake Wabby. The return
walk takes us through the Hammerstone Sandblow.
You also get to appreciate
the Eurong Beach Resort, lush subtropical rainforests, the clear
flowing waters of Wanggoolba Creek. For me the highlight is Lake
Birrabean, one of Fraser Islands Beautiful crystal clear lakes.
The clear Fraser Island lakes have to be seen to be believed.

14 (42) The Fraser Sea
- Hervey Bay
Pretty sure there is
no such a thing as the Fraser Sea but it is 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.
Fraser Island Whales
and Dolphins - Hervey Bay
 Hervey
Bay Whales having a Whale of a time.
Enjoy this
awesome whale cruise which has been running for years and will not
stop until they find one.....just joking :)
15 (43) Fraser Island
in a Day - Intrepid Explorers Only
There are 4WD
tours and then there is this one. There are no half measures on
this tour. You will "invade" Fraser Island in a 20-Seat
4WD Warrior. You will take Teewah or Rainbow Beach (and it's coloured
sands), traverse 75 mile Beach to Central Station or Pile Valley
then proceed to a full scale rainforest assault. After that it's
a covert swim in Lake McKenzie or Lake Birrabeen. The escape route
is through the ancient Satinay and Brushbox forests down the sandy
highway for a recovery tea stop on a remote beach before returning
to Noosa and de-brief - Phew!
