Maheno Shipwreck

The SS Maheno, found along the drive on the 75-Mile Beach, is one of the most photographed shipwrecks in the world. It is a huge man-made structure which was washed ashore in the cyclone off the Fraser Island in 1935. The humongous ship along the clear sandy beach strikes a perfect balance between nature and a man-made structure. The Maheno Shipwreck is one of the most unforgettable parts of the Fraser Island travel packages.
Coloured Sands
Coloured Sands are nature’s way of saying that it is the supreme power. By natural leaching of oxides and staining by vegetable matter, the sand grains in the island have taken different colours which look nothing less than a miraculous masterpiece of nature. Looking at these ancient sand structures which display a myriad of colours, the Fraser Island day tour looks very promising.
Indian Head
While 4WDing along the 75-Mile beach, the Fraser Island adventure tours include a visit to the rocky headland in the Northern end, the Indian Head. It is a stunning viewing point which is known for the spectacular sceneries of the ocean. Here, the marine life is also on display which includes sightings of manta rays, dolphins, turtles, sharks, fishes and humpback whales.

Lake Birrabeen
One of the most spectacular lakes, Lake Birrabeen is like a natural showpiece with clear white sandy shore and blue fresh waters. It is the most beautiful lake on the island and is considered to be one of the most amazing highlights of the Fraser Island tours. The locals even consider the lake to be very sacred and special.
The Rainforests
The Fraser Island rainforests are proof of the fact how nature can design two separate worlds together. The huge woody trees get ample amount of nourishment from the sands and it is a view one mustn’t miss. The evergreen canopy on a bed of sand is one of the unfathomable yet believable highlights of Fraser Island tours. The visit to the rainforests also involves the Pile Valley Walk through the Central Station and the Wanggoolba Creek.
Champagne Pools
K’gari’s very own natural rock pools, the Champagne Pools, are one of the most popular attractions on the Fraser Island adventure tours Australia.

Moreover, the pools are protected from the strong currents of the ocean and are filled with numerous coloured fishes who swim around you making you feel like your own tub of heaven.
Lake Wabby
Lake Wabby, the island’s deepest lake, also known as Sand Dune Lake, is an incredible place to visit in Australia. Consisting of a landscape of a sand dune, it gives the tourists the privilege of rolling into the water by sliding down a sand hill. However, it is one of the points that the island seeks to conserve as a part of the Eco-Fraser Island tourism because the lake is slowly filling in with sand.
A visit to Fraser Island is one of the wisest decisions that can be made by people who love travelling and especially the ones who consider themselves beach persons. The Fraser Island tours have all the ingredients to make one believe in the unnatural laws and the beauty of nature.
