Here are six things to do on a solo trip to the Fraser Coast.
1. Whale Watching
If you’re visiting Fraser Coast, you simply can’t miss the opportunity to go whale watching. Every year, humpback whales migrate along the east coast of Australia, and Fraser Coast is one of the best places to see them up close.
Book a tour and join other nature enthusiasts as you head out to the open sea where you can witness these majestic creatures frolicking and jumping right out of the water.

The Great Sandy National Park is a natural wonder that offers stunning landscapes and outdoor adventures. The park covers over 220,000 hectares of land and features a diverse range of ecosystems, including eucalyptus forests, freshwater lakes, and sand dunes.
You can explore the park on your own or take a guided tour to discover the hidden gems of this stunning landscape. The park offers a range of activities, such as hiking, fishing, and camping.
