Hire a 4wd vehicle from one of Hervey Bay’s experienced operators and head over with the family to Fraser Island for an adventure on sand. Your adventure starts by making your way to River Heads to catch the barge for a 45 min journey across the Great Sandy Straits to Fraser Island. Visit in sites such as Central Station – once the centre of the forestry industry; Wanggoolba Creek boardwalk and discover the ‘invisible creek’ silently flowing through the rainforest; Pile Valley – discover some of the island tallest trees, The Satinay, used to line the Suez Canal and to rebuild the London Docks after World War II. Lake McKenzie - relax on its white sandy beaches and swim in its crystal blue water; Seventy-Five Mile Beach - hit Fraser Island’s sandy highway as you make your way north and overnight in Happy Valley. Take a dip in the cool waters of Eli Creek where you can float down to the beach in knee deep crystal clear water year round. Overnight at Happy Valley Fraser Island
