Day 3 - Fraser Island to Hervey Bay

K'gari, Queensland

Depart your accommodation and continue on the Great Beach Drive taking the inland track west towards Kingfisher Bay. On your way across the island, stop at Central Station which was once home to a community of more than 100 people in the 1920’s logging era. At Central Station you can explore Fraser Island (K’Gari) rainforest along a boardwalk that fringes the silently flowing and crystal clear Wanggoolba Creek. From Central Station, drive to the magnificent Lake McKenzie, one of Fraser Island’s (K’Gari’s) most popular freshwater lakes. With its powder white sand and crystal clear water, Lake McKenzie is truly a once in a lifetime swimming location. Continue to Kingfisher Bay to catch the Fraser Island Barge to River Heads on the mainland and drive into Hervey Bay on Queensland’s Fraser Coast. Hervey Bay is a water sports mecca, so spend the afternoon on the water stand up paddle boarding, or embark on a jetski tour or kayak adventure! To see off the day, enjoy a Champagne Sunset Sail courtesy of one of the many boat tour operators that operate from the Urangan Boat Harbour. Stay overnight in Hervey Bay at one of the many accommodation options available.
