You cannot visit Queensland without going here. The scenery is amazing the waves just roll in over beautiful sandy beaches its raw and powerful and simply amazing. The various shipwrecks are good to look at but its the creeks and islands raw beauty that makes it so special. Make sure you book with a firm who can offer you a good package and stay at one of the hotels resorts. We stayed at the Eurong resort. Nice pool decent cabins and the food was ok too.

Lake Wabby:

Visit lake wabby. very weird to get to it you trek over loads of sand dunes till you reach this emerald green lake run down the dunes into this lake and you will feel loads of small fish nibbling at you its weird at first but quite nice. One side of the lake is sand dunes the other rainforest. Watch the catfish surface just under the water. Gorgeous.

Lake McKenzie:

The ultimate part of the island for me. Truly amazing. Sand as white as can be and a lake that is just the purest most beautiful thing you can imagine. Use the sand to clean your jewellry it has good claening properties without scratching. Relax by the side of the lake its just amazing.

There are of course many things to do including Eli Creek and central station to view and the champagne pools and indian head. If you are lucky you will see the whales and dolphins that swim off indian head. You can fly over the island and see the sharks and whales off shore. Be careful the sea is treacherous and deaths do occur when people don't watch themselves. Overall its a magical place stepped in history and an extremely powerful place to visit. Tours are relatively inexpensive and I found them to be excellent. There is loads of literature at the oz experience hostels around the area. Travel is by a 4x4 they vary in size and its an miracle how they navigate the island! This trip has to be done!

Also worth a shot around this area is Maroochydore and Noosa Heads both have great beaches and amazing scenery. Noosa is a bit posher with some nice places to eat and drink.
