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.

The only complaint I have about my visit to the Hervey Bay Historical Village is that we did not have enough time allocated for the visit! If you enjoy learning more about our colonial history, you need have at least a day to spend rambling through the Village. We were privileged to have a Master Rope Maker, (Brian(talk about the history of rope making, and demonstrate how ropes are made.He gave an insight as to HOW the rigging was made for the replica ship Endeavour.We were told how rope making can be achieved from natural fibres as man made, and it was heartening to see Brian involve visiting kiddies in the process of twisting fibre into rope. Another demonstration was given by Lou in the smithy, where once again visiting children were included in the activities. Another volunteer member showed myself through a genuine settler's slab hut and explained how the bed had been constructed: nowhere near as comfy as today' mattresses. I always enjoy talking with volunteers, no matter what the subject matter. They always share such interesting anecdotes. As I wrote earlier, there was so much to see and too little time to savour it all. My thanks for a most enjoyable visit.

An easy walk; some stairs (handy tip: take a water bottle) and then rewarded with spectacular views of the amazing sandblow. Kids: Take your boogie board if you want the thrill of riding down the sand dune. Great little adventure for families for an hour or two. Beautiful to watch the sunset if you’re timing is right (check sunset times)
4. Double Island Point Lighthouse
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 18 reviews
Reviewed By NewTravelJourneys - Queensland, Australia
A great shirt hill mountain walk direct from Double Island Point beach. This beach and lighthouse is only accessible by 4wd - along either Teewah or Rainbow Beach (conditions permitting). The beautiful ocean beach driving is scenic the entire way and well worth the exciting 4w Drive experience. Bring your kayaks, SUP, surf boards and fishing rods too, or camp along Teewah Beach. The walk to the lighthouse is on a slight incline and fairly easy, great for young kids to experience. During whale season (May to November) you will see and hear the beautiful mammals - the whales roar is quite the experience. Great photographic opportunity around the rocky, natural bushland and ocean. You will see Rainbow Beaches famous coloured sands, and the visiting celebrities to the region. Various celebrities visit this beautiful secluded spot. We always spot large sea turtles, dolphins and rays. This breathtaking lighthouse walk is an amazing experience for the entire family.

Always a picturesque place to visit with the drive along 75 mile beach thru the cuttings along the inland track to orchid beach take the turnoff to waddy point camping area and it will lead you to the beach.With views all the way to sandy cape.
6. Esplanade

Reviewed By glaitken1 - Nambour, Australia
This walk goes for miles - literally. I can't think of anywhere else in the world with such a relaxed walking environment, but complete with discrete toilets, picnic seating, regular access to the beach - and of course with a range of coffee shops, restaurants, ice-cream shops, motels and pubs just on the other side of the road. I hope that is never over-developed, so that it retains its ambience. 20 paces and you are off the walking track, and walking along the endless beach front, with a wide, gently sloping sandy beach, Frazer Island in the distance, and great shade spots under the bordering trees. Truly a paradise.

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
8. Lake Wabby

Reviewed By aliciasings77 - Brisbane, Australia
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.
9. Seventy-Five Mile Beach

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.
10. Central Station Rainforest

Reviewed By Noelleen2014 - Tamborine, Australia
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.
