Hervey Bay to Great Keppel Island
Start your Tropic of Capricorn explorations in
Hervey Bay
, with great swimming beaches
and whale-watching cruises in season (July to October). From here, hire a 4WD or join a
tour to
Fraser Island
, with its massive dunes, beach 'highways', bushwalks and shimmer-
ing lakes.
Back on the mainland, head north to
Mon Repos
where massive loggerhead turtles nest
and new hatchlings dash into the sea (November to March). Old- fashioned, country
Bundaberg
is next; don't miss a tour of the iconic Bundaberg Rum Distillery. From
Bundaberg, hop a flight to low-key
Lady Elliott Island
, with super snorkelling and diving
through coral gardens rich in marine life.
