Sea House :: Things to do
Enjoy the crowd-free seclusion with the option to simply kick
back and relax whilst marveling at the breathtaking view or you can
enjoy some excellent fishing spots at nearby Waddy Point, take a walk
on the beautiful white sandy beaches. A 35 kilometers drive north
will take you up the beautiful wilderness area beach to Sandy Cape
and around the tip of the island to historic lighthouse and wartime
bunkers. You might even see some nesting turtles or sea birds. (Sandy
Cape is famous for it’s verity of fish caught all year round).
We are only 30 minutes from the island’s western beach at Wathumba
Creek and Platypus Bay where whales rest with their calves on their
annual migration. The Wathumba Creek estuary is renowned as a bream
spawning ground and for the abundance of flathead, whiting and mud
crabs. The Orchid Beach to Wathumba track crosses 16 kilometers of
varied landscape containing unique flora such as the Orchid Beach
native orchid, palms, ancient cycads, grass trees and beautiful seasonal
wildflowers on the wallum health lands.
When the wind blows onto the exposed main eastern south from Indian
Head you can always find a sheltered area to fish or relax near Orchid
Beach
You can explore Fraser Island by 4wheel drive. Fraser island roads
are predominantly sand tracks or beaches.
The wildlife on Fraser Island is just as diverse and unique as the
landscape, comprising the intrepid dingoes, goannas, wallabies, possums,
echidnas, abundant bird life.
Children can swim in the saltwater Champagne Pools, the freshwater
Ocean Lake, and the many shallow lagoons and low tide gutters along
the beach in the sheltered bay or climb and slide down the many high
sand hills.
The annual tailor fishing season is from June to December when massive
schools of tailor migrate to spawn between the island’s only
rock headlands, Indian Head and Waddy Point. The largest tailor around
5 kg, are caught here later in the season. Taylor get into a feeding
frenzy with personal catches of 100 or more, but a bag limit means
you can only keep 30. |
