Holiday Destinations East Coast Australia

Australia’s Nature Coast holidays offer the chance to explore the striking natural beauty of the Sunshine Coast and Fraser Coast in Queensland. Whether you’re snorkelling, hiking, or bush walking in the diverse national parks, or sitting back and relaxing on the white sands of UNESCO World Heritage site of K’gari (Fraser Island), you’ll fall in love with the colour and beauty of Australia’s coastal scenes.

Hervey Bay unfolds across a seemingly endless bay shorefront. Looking out at the indigo blue waters, you can experience the awe and excitement of whale watching between July and November. Hervey Bay also provides access to one of Australia’s World Heritage sites – K’gari (Fraser Island). The island is not only known for its incredible 76 miles of sand, but also the luscious subtropical rainforests that grow out of the sand.

With so much to explore, see and discover at Australia’s Nature Coast, there really is something for everyone.

More challenging tracks are available, and whether you’re hiking, walking or driving through the park, the open forest is perfect for those looking for adventure.

Australia’s Nature Coast is home to two of Australia’s 14 Biosphere Reserves, and both showcase a wide range of flora and fauna. These are great spots for bird watchers, as they’re home to almost half of all bird species in Australia. You have the chance to spot the beautiful white-bellied cuckoo shrike on Fraser Coast and the square-tailed kite at Noosa Biosphere Reserve.

To discover the magic of the underwater world on your Australia Nature Coast holidays, travel from K’gari (Fraser Island) to the southern tip of the UNESCO World Heritage site, the Great Barrier Reef. On Lady Elliot Island, beneath the clear waters, there lies a rich marine ecosystem just waiting to be admired. Swim alongside over 1,200 species of marine life, including manta rays, turtles, reef sharks and schools of tropical fish. The fresh, coastal scenery is perfect for couples to share a romantic break.
