The Fraser Coast is named after the World Heritage-listed Fraser Island which is set just off Australia’s eastern coast. Known for its incredibly scenic natural landscapes, the Fraser Coast lies within the beautiful Queensland state boasting the magnificent coral cay of Lady Elliot Island near the Great Barrier Reef, and the scenic Hervey Bay situated in the Great Sandy Bay Biosphere, a UNESCO-listed area, said to be the whale watching capital of Austalia. Other highlights include: Lake Mckenzie, featuring crystal clear waters fringed by white-sand beaches; the bubbling waters at the Champagne Pools and Eli Creek, the largest freshwater creek on Fraser Island.
