1.  Looking north from Indian Head gives this picturesque view of the surf beach with Waddy Point in the distance.
 

2.  Not far from Indian Head are the Champagne Pools, formed where a barrier of volcanic rock partially sheilds the beach from the ocean surf.  At high tide waves surge over the rocks, filling the pools and providing a unique bathing experience.
 

3.  This is a view of Indian Head itself, the rocky headland that anchors the sands forming Fraser Island.  Fraser is the largest sand island in the world, but without the stability provided by rocks, the ocean might wash its sands away.  In the crystal clear waters below Indian Head, sharks, dolphins, mantarays, turtles, and whales (in season) can often be seen.
 

4.  75 mile beach on the eastern side of Fraser Island is often regarded as the main highway on the island for four wheel drive vehicles.  About mid way along it, Eli Creek winds from many kilometres inland to carve its bed through the beach and pour 120 million litres of water a day into the sea.  But bureaucrats who now control the island refuse to entertain proposals to pipe some of the water from this and similar streams to water-hungry Hervey Bay city, preferring instead to raise dams and flood forests on the mainland.
 

5.  The Maheno is a famous wrecked ship that can be seen on the east coast of Fraser Island.  In her day the S.S. Maheno was the pride of the Union Steamship Company's trans Tasman fleet, crossing in 1907 from Auckland to Sydney in two days 21 hours, setting a record that was to stand for 25 years.  She was wrecked whilst being towed to Japan for breaking up.
 

6.  75 mile beach is not only the main highway on the island for four wheel drive vehicles, but acts as an aerodrome for light aircraft.  Joy flights are available to enable tourists to see the sights from aloft.
 

7.  The beaches of the inland lakes are typically whiter than the ocean beaches.  This one is Lake Birrabeen.
 

8.  Sandy Cape beach at the northern end of Fraser Island is more difficult to reach than others, and is therefore rarely seen by visitors.  The Sandy Cape lighthouse is nearby.
