One of the main highlights of the East Coast of Australia is the world’s largest sand island - Fraser Island, just north of Brisbane.

It’s such a unique place - tropical rainforest grows amongst sand dunes and crystal clear freshwater lakes, and local Dingo’s roam the island with their pups!

I was lucky enough to join the ‘Cool Dingo’ three day tour, which combines adventurous exploring during the day, with partying at the Cool Dingo bar at night! We stayed at the gorgeous rainforest lodges, part of the Kingfisher Bay Resort. All meals and activities are included, and its a very convenient way to see this fantastic spot.

If your on more of a budget, then why not try the self-drive camping option? If your over 21 with a full drivers licence, you can have a go at ‘bush-bashing’ - driving a 4WD around the island. Don’t worry if your under 21 though - you can still join these trips! (just sit in the back and relax with a beer!) You’ll be supplied with all your camping gear, maps and safety tips to help you enjoy three days in paradise.

Most Fraser Island trips start from Hervey Bay or Rainbow Beach, but if you are desperately short on time, then there are a couple of guided tours that start from Brisbane.

Come in a visit one of our Brisbane stores - George Street or Elizabeth Street, the city - to get your Fraser Island trip planned!

Cheers, Bree
