Day 1 - Today you check out some of Fraser’s coolest inland sights - Basin Lake - first stop is beautiful Basin Lake - get up close and personal with the resident freshwater turtles : Central Station -, ancient rainforest and the reminders of a former, once bustling logging camp: Wanggoolba Creek - walk along the banks of this silent flowing creek with lush green rainforest and rare king ferns… just breathtaking: Pile Valley - check out the towering satinay trees in this rich forest… real giants! : Lake McKenzie - with its white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters, picture perfect Lake McKenzie is even prettier than the postcards. Enjoy a refreshing afternoon swim before heading back to Kingfisher Bay.

Day 2 - An early start to explore Seventy-Five Mile Beach, the world’s most amazing beach highway- Eli Creek - a great spot for a refreshing dip! Float down this fast-flowing freshwater creek which pours out 80 megalitres of water daily : Maheno Shipwreck - washed ashore during a cyclone in 1935, this rusting wreck is one of Fraser’s essential photo stops. Coloured Sands - With all the colours of the rainbow (well just the reds really) these vibrant sand cliffs are another favourite photo stop : Indian Head - climb to the top of this rocky headland for awesome beach and ocean views… look out for sharks, rays and humpback whales (Jul - Nov) : Champagne Pools - chill out in these bubbling ocean rock pools, you won’t want to leave!

Day 3 - A relaxed day visiting a few of Fraser’s lesser known treasures. As this is our last day, don’t forget to leave your luggage at the Wilderness Lodge storage area for our porters - Lake Wabby - walk through cool rainforest to beautiful emerald-green Wabby, Fraser’s deepest lake and a favourite swimming hole : Hammerstone Sandblow - trek over one of Fraser’s vast desert-like sand blows… no wonder it’s the world’s largest sand island! : Eurong Beach Resort - for lunch we head to Eurong Beach Resort for a relaxed poolside BBQ at the Beach Bar, overlooking Seventy-Five Mile Beach : Lake Birrabeen - if you loved Lake McKenzie then Birrabeen will allure you with its sparkling clear waters and dazzling white beaches… you won’t be able to resist a dip, a great way to finish the tour!

Accommodation

Forget fidgety nights with tents and sleeping bags… our comfy Wilderness Lodges promise a good night’s rest on Fraser! The modern timber lodges are surrounded by gum trees, bush plants and native birds, so you’ll still get your nature fix!

Each lodge has twin, double and quad-share bedrooms, all fully screened. Bedrooms have ceiling fans to keep you cool during summer and heating for those chilly winter nights. Linen, blankets and bath towels are provided and there’s separate male and female bathrooms, each with two showers. Lodges have an open lounge area and kitchenette with tea & coffee making facilities. Ironing facilities are also available, and there’s a coin-laundry nearby.

The Wilderness Lodges are located on the hill north-east of Kingfisher Bay Resort’s main complex (and just across from the Dingo Bar… very handy!!) There’s a regular shuttle service between the lodges and resort - check transfer times with your guide.
