World-heritage listed Fraser Island is right on our doorstep. The largest sand island in the world, Fraser Island attracts over 300,000 visitors annually. The recently developed Fraser Island Great Walk encompasses 90 kilometres of amazing landscapes including ocean and estuarine beaches, cliffs and gorges, dense rainforest, tall open forest and pristine lakes. Fraser Island offers an eco-tourism experience unlike any other.

Lady Elliot Island, on the southern tip of the world-famous Great Barrier Reef, is just a 40 minute flight away. You can visit for a day or stay at the Island’s Resort and enjoy some of the best snorkelling, diving and birdlife in Australia.

From the end of July until early November each year, the magnificent humpback whales visit Hervey Bay for some rest and recreation as they complete their migration back to Antarctica.

These gentle giants are curious to view the thousands of whale-watchers who come to see their playful tail-slapping, spy-hopping and breaching. Nowhere else in the world offers such an “up-close-and-personal” encounter with the humpbacks.
