Our vehicle will board the barge to cross the Great Sandy Strait (where we’ll hopefully spot some dolphins) to Fraser Island, also known as K’gari. We will then travel inland along sand tracks through heathlands towards our next destination... Lake McKenzie. Here we will have plenty of time for swimming and relaxing by the lake! Lunch will be an “Aussie Style Bush Picnic” - now we're living our best Aussie lives! After having a final wonder through Central Station (which is nothing like the one in The Big Apple!) Sadly this magical day has to come to and end but this magnificent rainforest is the perfect way to end our time here on Fraser Island. We will head back to the Sunshine Coast late afternoon ready for a more chilled day tomorrow!
