Fraser Bay

It’s all about the water on the Fraser Coast. The region is the whale-watching capital of the world, with thousands of humpbacks migrating past each year, as well as one of Australia’s top fishing destinations.

Purchase your vehicle permit online, pack the esky, towels and insect repellent and head off to the eco-wonderland that is Fraser Island to help celebrate over 25 years of World Heritage status. This stunning island is affectionately known as ‘k’gari’ (paradise) by the local Butchulla people, and with 123km of natural beauty, it’s not hard to see why.

Sunshine Coast

The Sunshine Coast is perfect for an action-packed holiday or quiet escape at any time of year. Discover its vast beaches, a thriving food scene at Noosa and the many natural treasures of the surrounding hinterland.

It’s time to ditch your mediocre cup of coffee and spend a leisurely weekend on the Sunshine Coast hinterland in search of proper morning fuel. Follow your nose to cafes that are hidden all along the coast from Coolum to Noosaville. They make the perfect food stop on a short driving holiday. Picture: Tourism and Events Queensland
