Fraser Coast

The Fraser Coast is Queensland’s marine mecca and it all begins on the World-Heritage listed K’gari. Whether you join a guided tour of the island or pop the 4WD on the ferry, indulge in luxury resorts or camp deep in a rainforest, K’gari will become a favourite destination for all the family. With a focus on eco-tourism K’gari offers a multitude of adventures – think exploring shipwrecks, swimming in crystal-clear water and wildlifespotting - all within a pristine natural environment.

While we’re talking islands don’t miss a trip to Lady Elliot Island, a coral cay on the Southern Great Barrier Reef. Dive, snorkel and swim over coral reefs, play with dolphins and manta rays and watch the miracle of baby turtles hatching and making their away across the white sands to a life in the ocean.

If larger marine creatures take your fancy then you’re in luck. Hervey Bay is a holiday spot for humpback whales on their annual migration along the east coast and between July and October tour boats can get you up close and personal with these magnificent creatures. Hervey Bay is also a great place to sit back and relax. While away the hours on family-friendly beaches and top off the day with mouth-watering meals at one of the many fine-dining experiences.

But the Fraser Coast is more than marine! Dry out for a day or two at historic Maryborough, which has a proud military past that stretches from the beaches of Gallipoli to the construction of naval ships. Explore it all at the Maryborough Military and Colonial Museum.

Continue your journey along the waterways of Tiaro & Hinterland and you will discover that the Fraser Coast really does offer something for everyone. It’s a Queensland driving holiday only 360km north of Brisbane!
