Fraser Island
by backpackerbaby
Most backpackers start their Fraser Island adventures in Hervey Bay. Since I had limited time, I couldn't arrange to get to Hervey Bay and join any 3-day camping on the Island. Instead, I joined a day-tour from Noosa Heads. It's a bit rush I must admit but I could see already quite a lot under the horrible weather conditions.

NOOSA NATIONAL PARK WALKS
by balhannah
Noosa National Park is an area you should visit if you are at Noosa.
There are many walking trails, of all levels and distances.
I have only walked the Coastal track, which is 5.4km return (Allow 1.5-2.5 hours) , but there are quite a few other trails.
The track follows the shoreline over several headlands, and you get to see some gorgeous little coves.
Spectacular views can be seen from several lookouts along the track, which ends on a high bluff at Hell's Gates.
This is a really nice walk, take your time and enjoy it!
If you come by car, make sure it is locked and that there aren't any valuables left in it, or in sight.
