Views
Exclusive rights from
Noosa to
Double Island Point Lighthouse (dependant
on conditions), is a special part of the day. The views are
spectacular and offer marine live sightings such as Dolphins,
Manta Rays, Turtles and Whales (in season). At 96m elevation
the vista from Noose to Fraser Island is breath taking.
The Double Island Point Lighthouse
has been operating since its completion in 1884.
It is constructed of metal cladding
on a timber frame as is typical of many Queensland Lighthouses.
At first the light was fitted with an oil burner and revolving
panels. In 1923 it was converted to an incandescent mantle
using vapourised kerosene, thus increasing its power to 100,000
Candelas. In 1925 the light was further upgraded by fitting
an revolving lens floated in a mercury bath. The next conversion
was to 110v DC giving a powerful 750,000 candelas.

The
lakes
Choice of 3 different pure and pristine
freshwater lakes where you have lunch and time for swimming.
Lake McKenzie - is the most
beautiful and popular blue water lake and the busiest.
Lake Birrabeen - is beautiful
and slopes gently. Great for smaller children and generally
not as busy as Lake McKenzie.
Lake Garawongera - peaceful
and serene is a tannin coloured lake.
The array of Fraser
Island's dune lakes is exceptional in terms of number, diversity
and age. With more than forty, half the number of such lakes
in the world. The Island has the second largest concentration
of lakes in Australia (after Tasmania).
The lakes are formed when organic matter,
such as leaves, bark and dead plants, gradually builds up
and hardens in depressions created by the wind.
