Central Station, originally established as a forestry township, is a beautiful rainforest area, with a short boardwalk that follows Wanggoolba Creek.

Lake McKenzie is one of the island’s best-known freshwater lakes. It is a refreshing swimming spot and the Footprints on Fraser walkers have the unique privilege of camping beside it. Lake Wabby, surrounded by a massive sand-blow, is the deepest of the island’s lakes. Lake Allom is a small, attractive lake with a forest backdrop and special inhabitants — tortoises.

Eli Creek is the largest freshwater creek along the east coast, with over four million litres of water flowing into the ocean every hour.

The Cathedrals are towering cliffs of multicoloured sands sculptured by the wind into huge peaks.

The Champagne Pools at Middle Rocks, just north of Indian Head, are beautiful rock pools filled with bubbling seawater – they are excellent swimming holes at low tide!

The wreck of the ‘Maheno’, once an impressive vessel, lies buried in sand just north of Happy Valley.

Footprints on Fraser offers one of the most unique ways to take in the great beauty of this natural wonder.  Our tours meander along the Fraser Island Great Walk beneath towering rainforests, past crystal clear lakes and over vast sand dunes. 

Walkers have the privilege of experiencing the diverse landscapes, heritage and ecosystems of the island during our 4-day and 5-day tours.

It is time for you to discover the exceptional beauty of world heritage listed Fraser Island.  A truly precious part of Australia’s natural and cultural heritage, Fraser Island is a mystical place worth exploring.

Fraser Island is a precious part of Australia’s natural and cultural heritage.  World heritage listed, it is the largest sand island in the world.  Over 120 kilometers long and over 20 kilometers across at its widest point, the Island has developed over 700,000 years and is truly a unique natural environment.

Fraser Island is a place of exceptional beauty, with its long uninterrupted white beaches flanked by strikingly coloured sand cliffs, and over 100 freshwater lakes, some tea-coloured and others clear and blue all ringed by white sandy beaches.  Ancient rainforests grow in sand along the banks of fast-flowing, crystal clear creeks.

Fraser Island’s Aboriginal name, K’gari appropriately means paradise. The heritage of the traditional Butchulla people is evident in archaeological sites, midden heaps, ceremonial bora rings and stone implements across the island.
