Southern Queensland SUPERYACHT GUIDE

The best way to see Fraser Island is by 4WD with one of the professional resort rangers who know the island and where its secrets lie. Rangers may also specialise in specific areas such as fishing, family activities, rainforests or cultural experiences. Fraser Explorer Tours can tailor a one-day tour to suit guests which will include lunch, all the National Park permits and fuel levies. Advance bookings required. Here is a suggested one-day itinerary. fraserexplorertours.com.au F raser Island day visit Central Station Starting from the resort on the west coast, travel by private 4WD across the centre of the island to Central Station to learn about the development of the flora and fauna of the Fraser Island rainforest. Take a walk via a raised boardwalk around Wanggoolba Creek through the rainforest cover. visitfrasercoast.com/product/central-station Lake McKenzie With over 100 lakes on Fraser Island, Lake McKenzie (also known as Boorangoora) is one of the most highly featured in tourism brochures for its turquoise swirl. But this little piece of paradise also offers safe and calm waters and pure white silica sand that is ultra-soft to walk on.

Lake McKenzie is a ‘perched’ lake so contains only rainwater and this helps give its illusion of a stunning swimming pool. Average depth 6m, and 8m at its deepest.

Pile Valley Pile Valley is home to the ancient rainforest that surrounds Central Station. Once a logging camp, it is now protected as a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is famous for its kauri pines, giant king ferns, satinay trees and other majestic giants that contribute to the overhead canopy … and also for a royal visit by Prince Harry!
