Walking on Fraser is a must-do! It's beautiful and unique. The walking tracks are separate to the vehicular tracks, so it feels like you are really in the guts of nowhere with no one else anywhere nearby, when in fact, if you need it, you can call a taxi and get the heck out of dodge if something crops up. The campsites at almost all the locations are fenced, have gear lockers , a wooden platform and a cleared area for your tent. All the sites have a separate camping area for hikers. The best thing about walking on Fraser is that you don't need to stress out about water because it's everywhere all year round, whatever the weather.
Well marked bushwalk through some of the best parts of Fraser Island. Typically walked South to North- Dilli Village - Lake Benaroon - Central Station - Lake McKenzie - Lake Wabby - Valley of the Giants - finishing at Happy Valley, however some hikers walk it the other way around.
Easy walk along a well formed walking track to the lake. It is possible to circumnavigate the lake which will add around 4.5km to the walk. The lake has a tree leaning across which can be climbed and has a rope swing for swinging into the lake. Check for submerged objects!
Trail parallel to the Noosa River, opposite site from Harrys camping area (kayak/ boat needed to cross the river).
Cabbage palm and paperbark wetlands feature along this popular walk to the Sir Thomas Hiley Information Centre Kinaba on the shores of Lake Cootharaba from Elanda.
22 km walk from Kingfisher Resort to Central Station camping area, This walk is on sand tracks and this walks acts as a feeder walk to the Fraser Island Great Walk
A walk from Lake McKenzie on well formed sand track through melaleuca scrub-lands
4 hour walk from Wangoolba Creek to Lake McKenzie walkers camp on Fraser Island. Great little camp just a short walk from the lake, fully fenced from dingos.
Park at the beach and hike up to Lake Wabby , trip starts with a longish walk through some beautiful forests before you reach the sand dunes and the lake. I would suggest that thongs are not a good choice for this walk. A pair of runners would be best for this walk over changeable terrain. As you emerge from the trees and walk out onto what seems like never ending sand dunes, you straight away get that feeling that the walk you just completed was completely worth it.
Delight in the wetlands of cabbage palms, paperbarks and eucalypt forests fringing the delta lakes of the upper Noosa River.
