Such a beautiful fresh water lake, only the depth changes the colour, so turquoise in the shallows. Try cleaning your jewellery in the sand. I have cleaned my watch and watch face many times, that tells you how soft the sand is. So pure.

A lovely spot to hang out with family and friends for a few hours. Not as busy as McKenzie. Beautiful water and soft, white sand

The bushwalk into the lake was a bit of work but fun for our large group to do together. Beautiful forest to walk through, and by the time you get to the lake -stunning views and a secluded, beautiful spot - you’ve really earned a relaxing swim! The water is much deeper than at McKenzie and Birrabeen, so keep your kids close. The sand is so soft and beautiful here.

Don't be put off by the 1.2km walk up a steep hill. You will be more than rewarded by your effort. I'm 52 and not really fit, and i smoke. It took me 25 minutes to wander up, i paused 4 times. Take water with you and your camera, there are no toilets up there, just great views. look through the window for a very impressive solar setup. The history of this light house and its construction is really interesting. We did the walk then had a BBQ, which we took with us, lunch back on the beach. Just watch the tides when driving, as with anything on the island.

Drove along the Seventy-Five Mile Beach in a custom made 4wd coach as part of the Beauty Spots tour. Unique experience. Enjoyed every minute of the trip. Particularly enjoyed looking at the Maheno shipwreck. Also saw several wild dingos.

No visit to Fraser Island is complete without a visit to Central Station. We drove there and enjoyed a BBQ in the picnic area followed by a short easy walk along a Chrystal clear creek. The lush rainforest completes the experience ... a definite must do.

This place is simply amazing. Pulling up on the edge of the water on our 4wd Vehicle, we were it ready for what greeted us. A true natural playground of beautiful, clean, fresh, drinkable water. We floated, swam and horsed around in the water and it was glorious... highly recommended.
9. Champagne Pools
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By DAMIHATHSA - Cairns, Australia
The Champagne Pools are a great, safe spot for some salt water swimming. We timed it well, with the incoming tide bringing waves of fresh water in to the tidal pools. For those with mobility issues, there’s a boardwalk with numerous stairs descending to the beach and ‘pools’. The car parking area is not large, but seemed to be sufficient. There are toilets adjacent the parking area.

This viewpoint is the best place I have ever been to. Crystal clear waters full of marine life either side and the most amazing views over Fraser Island. We saw a pod of dolphins swimming right near the rocks. It also isn’t a hard walk up to the viewpoint.
