new experiences around every corner

K’gari (the Indigenous name for Fraser Island) offers an abundance of untouched natural beauty just 300km north of Brisbane, and 15km off the coast of Hervey Bay. As the world’s largest sand island, stretching 123km long and 22km wide, this World Heritage listed wonder offers endless white sand beaches, freshwater lakes and tropical rainforests. Beautiful pristine beaches and sparkling freshwater lakes, cool and peaceful rainforests with huge trees, swampy wetlands full of wild flowers and vast everchanging sand dunes all can all be found within one or two hours’ drive of Orchid Beach

K’gari is home to over 325 species of birds including Australia’s stork, the Jabiru. There are also wallabies, possums, flying foxes, echidnas, as well as eastern Australia’s purest population of dingo. A unique species of tortoise can be found in many of the freshwater lakes, and the warm waters surrounding the island attract dugong, dolphins and turtles. The magnificent humpback whales visit between August and November can be seen from the veranda of K’gari breaching off Waddy Point. In this same period K’gari and particularly Orchid Beach offers some of the best tailor fishing in Australia.

Whether among resort-style comforts or camping on the beach, this is the place to recharge and reconnect with nature.

Day Trip to Adelaide

Wednesday 30 July - Departs 9:30 AM / Returns 17:00 PM

The Barossa is in South Australia, about 70km north-east of Adelaide, the state’s capital city.   Your trip will include a visit of the city centre, The State Library of South Australia and lunch at a local wine bar and kitchen. 

The State Library is the information heart of South Australia, located in the North Terrace Cultural Precinct.  You will have the opportunity to explore all three buildings: the award-winning contemporary Catherine Helen Spence Wing with its iconic glass foyer, the Mortlock Wing with its 19th century Victorian splendour, and the 1861 heritage listed Institute Building.

Sweeping stadium views, stylish bar and lounge, premium menu and extensive wine list.  Bespoke Wine Bar & Kitchen is one of Adelaide’s most impressive dining experiences.

Extending across level three of Oval Hotel and into the iconic Adelaide Oval, Bespoke’s unique setting makes a stunning backdrop lunch.

Executive Chef Daniel Simpson’s modern Australian menu brings bold flavours to life through fresh, seasonal produce.  Two drinks are included, and you may choose from house wine, beer or a soft drink.

After lunch you will be transferred to the North Terrace, Adelaide city where you can choose to spend your time either at Rundle Mall, The Art Gallery of South Australia or South Australian Museum.

 

PLEASE NOTE:  We have been advised that the carpet is being replaced in the Mortlock Chamber (section of the library) and we are now unable to conduct tours through this section during July so we will amend the Private tour of the State Library slightly and now include access to the basement (old & rare artifacts storage) which is an area of the library usually inaccessible to the public.
