Today we explore K’gari’s striking landscapes—rainforests, eucalypt woodlands, mangroves, sand dunes, and coastal heaths. Our guided tour shares the stories of the tribes who called this paradise home for over 5,000 years, as we journey off-road across the world’s largest sand island. Highlights include the crystal-clear waters of Eli Creek, the historic Maheno Shipwreck, and towering Satinay trees. We stroll rainforest boardwalks rich with rare plant life, take in sheltered bays and sweeping vistas, and pause to soak in the island’s beauty. A visit to picturesque Lake McKenzie offers time for a swim in its sapphire waters framed by pure white sands, before we return to our accommodation late afternoon. **4WD tour is not suitable for passengers with back and/or neck injury due to certain parts of the track being rugged and jerky.

This morning we board our transfer and wave farewell to the turquoise waters of Great Keppel Island, returning to the mainland at Keppel Bay Marina. Back on the coach, we journey westward into Queensland’s heartland, pausing at Duaringa. A relaxed picnic lunch awaits at Rolleston Park before we continue our scenic drive through ever-changing landscapes. By late afternoon we arrive at the spectacular Carnarvon Gorge Wilderness Lodge where we check in to unique timber and canvas Safari Cabins that ooze outback charm and blend unobtrusively into the natural bushland of this hidden oasis. This evening we gather by the fireplace in the lodge for pre-dinner drinks (own expense) and dinner. 2 Night Stay: Carnarvon Gorge Wilderness Lodge
DAY 6. Carnarvon Gorge (B,L,D)
Today offers a choice of guided walking tours, tailored to different fitness levels, both completely optional. Begin with an easy early-morning stroll near the lodge, where expert nature guides introduce the diverse flora and fauna that call this national park home. For those seeking more adventure, a mid-morning nature trail with our guides leads to the enchanting Moss Garden, where sandstone walls drip with fresh water, nourishing a lush carpet of mosses, ferns, and liverworts. Beneath towering tree ferns, a waterfall tumbles into a cool, crystal pool. Along the way, we pause to enjoy a picnic lunch surrounded by the beauty of the wilderness. Guests preferring a gentler pace may choose to relax and soak up the lodge’s tranquil setting. **The Moss Garden walk is an approximate 3 hour walk with a lunch break and is suited to those with a higher physical rating.
