Day by day itinerary
★Highlights⌄
Lake McKenzie (Boorangoora) Lake McKenzie also known by its indigenous name, Lake Boorangoora, is one of Fraser Island’s most well known tourist attractions. Its crystal clear freshwater and white silica sand make it one of the island’s most visited natural wonders. The lake’s mesmerising beauty comes from the sand which acts as a filter, giving the water its clarity and helping to make the water so pure that it supports very little life, you won’t find any fish living here!
Eli Creek is the largest creek on the Eastern beach of K'gari (Fraser Island), it pours up to four million litres of clear, fresh water into the ocean every hour! This makes it a perfect swimming spot and an excellent location for floating down the creek, relaxing as the current guides you down!
Maheno Shipwreck It wouldn’t be a trip to Fraser Island without visiting one of the most famous Fraser landmarks, the SS Maheno Shipwreck. The Maheno, over 110 years old, was a former trans-Tasman luxury liner and a World War 1 hospital ship for New Zealand. Today the ship’s rusted remains lie on the 75-mile beach, a popular tourist and photography destination! ‘Maheno’ is the Maori (native New Zealand language) word for ‘island’, ironic huh!
Central Station, situated in the heart of Fraser Island, a general pit stop favourite for many travelers, holds a strong historical significance to Fraser Island. From the 1920s to 1950s, the area featured a number of houses and schools, settled by mainland Australians who had moved up to the Island to harvest timber from the forest. While this practice is no longer allowed today, Central Station provides a one of a kind jungle hang out, perfect for lunch stops and memorable walks in the lush, tropical rainforest. Here you will find some superb open rainforest home to the massive Angiopteris ferns, the largest fern fronds in the world!
Lake Wabby, one of the deepest lakes on Fraser Island is known as both a window lake and a barrage lake. On one side you will see a magnificent sandblow and on the other lush tropical rainforest! Lake Wabby, unlike other lakes on Fraser, supports several varieties of fish, you may even spot a catfish swimming around!
