Getting to Eliza Palms

Arrival Via Harvey Bay. Once arriving on Fraser drive to Eurong, turn left at the beach and head north, and follow the signs to Orchid Beach.

Drivers should be aware of tide times and keep off the beach for two hours either side of high tide. Driving conditions vary with weather and tides. Speed limits are 35km per hour on inland roads and 80km per hour on the Seventy-Five Mile Beach. Normal road rules apply. Carry essential spares as well as a towrope, spade, water and first aid kit.

On the beach, drive around the low-tide times. Indicate when overtaking, turning or passing and pass on the left. Slow down for pedestrians, wildlife, vehicles and aircraft and beware of humps and creek washouts on the beach.

When inland stay on formed tracks. Most tracks are narrow and two-way so keep a look out for passing bays. Give way to buses and downhill traffic.

Things To Do Around Orchid Beach:
Orchid Beach is located in beautiful sheltered Marloo Bay, north Fraser Island. Due to its remote location, and there being no resort hotel in the area, it is out of range of heavy beach traffic, tour buses and day-trippers. There is a vehicle free beach between Waddy Point and Champagne Pools which is very popular for families.
Eliza Palms is a five minute walk to beautiful beaches and is in the vicinity of Indian Head, Champagne Pools, Waddy Point, Ngkala Rocks and Ocean Lake.
Fishing:
Fish for bream, whiting and flathead all year round, and tailor when in season.
Swimming:
Waddy Point has many shallow lagoons that are ideal for swimming
Whale Watching:
Orchid Beach is a great place to whale watch in the winter months. Whales can often be seen breaching close to Waddy Point.

Ocean Lake
Ocean Lake is home to a variety of water birds taking advantage of the reeds and undisturbed sections of the lake. Nearby, an easy walk through cypress, banksia and lelaleuca woodland offers a good lookout with panoramic views.

Lake Allom
Tucked into a rainforest hollow, this lake offers a cool respite from the beach environment. A circult track around the lake meanders through a variety of plat communities. Wait on the viewing platform and watch for freshwater turtles.

Eli Creek
Cool off next to this crystal clear freshwater creek that flows through vegetated banks and out to the beach. Watch for eels and frogs from the boardwalk, and see small fish swimming against the current.

Kingfisher Bay
Sheltered coastline, impressive views across the Great Sandy Strait and historical sites are all within easy walking distance of Kingfisher Bay.

Lake Wabby
The deepest lake on Fraser Island, its shore lies at the advancing edge of the Hammerstone Sandblow. Drive around and up to the ridge above the lake, where a short walk takes you to a splendid lookout offering a view of this barrage lake and the sandblow that is slowly engulfing it.

Lake McKenzie
This inland, perched lake is a popular site. White sand and sparking blue waters attract many visitors. Parking is limited. It is best to visit before 10.30am or after 2.30pm.

Central Station
Many walks leave from Central Station. Stroll through the rainforest along Wanggollba Creek boardwalks, and stand among some impressive satiny trees in Pile Valley.

Lake Boomanjin
Ths is the largest perched lake in the world covering almost 200ha. Its waters are stained brown by tannins leached from the vegetation.

There are many more sites to discover on Fraser Island. Make Eliza Palms your accommodation base and discover them for yourself.
