Monday 12th December - Rainbow Beach to Fraser Island - 80 Kms.


Just when you thought the fun might end, yet another adventurous day. We'll depart Rainbow Beach at your leisure and drive onto the beach and head towards a place called Inskip Point. This is where the ferry crosses the water and is the access to Fraser Island and it's a 5 minute ferry crossing. Once onto Fraser Island, we will head up the main beach and stop at Eurong Resort for refreshments and lunch.

What do you think of this as a suggested lunch???
I would suggest maybe a BBQ. There are many free BBQ sites scattered over the Island. No need to carry a heep of $1 coins with you...That's around 30P...They're free....Don't get much for free these days. Would cost about $AUD20 (£7) for the lot of us with salad and fruit and a beer...

After lunch, we will head up the beach a little further and leave the beach at Happy Valley stopping at Eli Creek on the way.



Eli Creek
Eli Creek is the largest freshwater streams on the eastern coast of Fraser Island.



With over four million litres of water flowing from its mouth onto the beach and into the ocean every hour, Eli Creek is considered to be one of Fraser Island's most popular natural wonders.


From here we will head to our accommodation house at Kingfisher Bay Resort. We'll drive through lush rainforest stopping on the way for a good look and maybe a sand blow or two. The rainforest is quite a contrast to the beach and you will be surprised.
