Join CFT as we leave Winter behind to travel to beautiful Fraser Island. After flying to Brisbane, we will be meet and transferred to Hervey Bay where a ferry transfers us across to the island. Lying just south of the Great Barrier Reef the Fraser Island World Heritage wilderness area stretches over 123 kilometres. The world’s largest sand island, Fraser Island has spectacular beaches and huge sand blows yet supports ancient rainforests with rare plants growing in sand. The island also has over 100 freshwater lakes and clear flowing streams that attract many birds.

We will be staying at the 4-Star Kingfisher Bay Eco-Resort. Check-in, unpack and get ready to enjoy the same royal treatment! Tonight, we will join together to enjoy our first group dinner and get to know one another.

Time to relax and explore at leisure a little of our stunning surroundings. Kingfisher Bay Resort and Village overlooks the calm waters of the Great Sandy Strait, and has many easy walking tracks. Resort Rangers conduct a series of complimentary walks and talks to help you understand a little bit more about Fraser Island’s World Heritage listed wilderness and their animals, but also about how the resort operates. Have a wander or why not simply relax by the pool?

During our stay we have arranged picnic lunches to be supplied as a part of the package and we will also enjoy the Maheno Restaurant with a comprehensive buffet breakfast, the Maheno themed buffet dinner, the taste of Bushtucker BBQ Dinner, and the Sand Bar buffet dinner.

You’ll also have the chance to take an optional scenic flight in a small plane taking off from and landing back on the beach.

Wake to birdsong and the energetic antics of Welcome Swallows. We go bird watching with the resort’s “Twitcher” Ranger on an avian adventure around the resort grounds – there are 354 bird species that frequent the island so come and add some new birds to your “spotted” list.
