From Havey Bay, off the coast of Fraser, Queensland, you'll need this playbook to embrace this ecstasy of Fisher Island by boat.
One, where is Fisher Island?
Fisher Island, Queensland, Australia (also known as Freitzer Island-Fraser IsIand) is the world's largest sandy island. The island is covered with vast primordial rainforests, the only tropical rain forest plant in the world to be found on sandy beaches and more than 200 meters high. In 1992, Fisher Island was inscribed on the World Natural Heritage list. With Australia's other two famous attractions, the Great Barrier Reef (Great Barrier Reef) and Ayers Rock (UIuru).

Two, where's Missy Fisher?
White sand lake
There are more than 100 freshwater lakes and numerous streams on Feisha Island, accounting for half of the world's total.
White Sand Lake (Lake Mckenzie) is the most beautiful freshwater suspension lake on the island, surrounded by white sand beaches, the lake is clear pan-blue, hence the name White Sand Lake.
Draw the key point: the lake bottom white sand is thin and pure, shows the ripple shape arrangement, goes in a walk to have the massage function very much, can activate the blood to remove the silt; Sand is rich in silica and other minerals, lake water near neutral, skin beauty efficacy, do not miss the beauty of you.

75 mile beach
The 75-mile beach (Seventy-Five-Mile Beach) covers the island's entire eastern coastline, and the scenery is irresistible. This is beach, runway, fishing paradise. If you want to take a four-wheel drive and a plane on the island, it's all here.

Ellie Springs
Feisha Island is rich in underground water, constantly pouring out of the surface through the aquifer, forming hundreds of streams and flowing to the sea.
Alice Springs (Eli Creek), the largest freshwater stream on the eastern coast of Fesha Island, has undergone 70 years of purified sand groundwater, flowing 4.2 million litres per hour to 75 miles of beach. Take off your shoes and socks, swim or stroll in a stream that is cleaner than distilled water, and let shallow streams wash your legs, a natural sole massage you can't experience anywhere else.

Mahino sunken ship
The luxury cruise ship Mahino (Maheno), which sank more than 100 years ago, is one of the most iconic historic sites on Fischer Island. The Marshino was the world's first turbine-driven steamboat and the fastest at the time. In 1905, the luxury cruise ship Mahino was built in Scotland and then sailed back and forth between Sydney and Auckland. During the first World War, the Mahino served as a medical vessel and restored the status of a luxury cruise ship after the war. Retired after being dragged to Japan scrapped, on the way to the storm and washed ashore, since then landing in Fisher Island, become the island's unique historical site of the World War.

Phantom church mountain
The colorful cliffs north of Alice Springs are like churches standing on the seaside, so they are also known as the Phantom Church Mountain (Pinnacles). The mountain is magnificent, towering and solemn, is the work of nature's ghost axe craftsmanship. The cliffs contain 24 minerals and 72 colors, most of which are red and yellow. Oxide covers the grains through years of oxidation filtration and wind erosion to form different colors and shapes. This is not only a living fossil of the evolution of the ancient landform of the sand island, but also a witness to the great power of the sea breeze.

Central Station
Central Station (Central Station) is located in the centre of Fisher Island. Rich in moisture, sunlight and nutrients, the surrounding trees were able to grow tenaciously in the sand, reaching a height of 200 metres. The central station, formerly known as a logging zone, did not end until Fisher Island was included in the World Heritage site. Today, central station retains some of the woodcutter's old house and turns it into an interpretation center. You can walk along the trail into the creek area and take a stroll over the sandy rainforest on both sides of the stream.

Champagne pond
Champagne Pond (Champagne Pools) is located in the northeast of Fisher Island, built naturally by volcanic rocks. The waves beat the rocks by the pool, the beautiful foam fell into the pool, and you were surrounded by champagne foam. The coastline from here to the Indian Cape is a shrine for many photography enthusiasts. Remember to bring a camera!

Indian angle
Indian Cape (Indian Head) did not have Indians, the name originated from a misunderstanding. Captain Cook, an English navigator, mistakenly named the island's native Australians as Indians. The Indian Cape lies at the easternmost end of the coast of Fisher Island, the highest point on the 75-mile beach. The 60-meter-high body looks back at the beautiful island home like a mighty guard.

It's a simple and safe trip led by a local guide, no tents and sleeping bags, no cooking and driving, and you don't have to worry too much about the whole trip. From Hauve Bay, ferry commutes to and from Kingfisher Bay Resort Ecological Jungle House (with four people and two families), a four-drive all-day tour on the island accompanied by an ecological guide, and a variety of activities at the Coodin Dog Bar in the evening.
When I was making an introduction, I felt that this was probably the most interesting regiment on Fisher Island. We were all people of the same age who loved to play, and the whole group felt full of vitality. "Lonely Planet" also strongly recommended (originally found a itinerary brochure, but the picture can not only put a ready-made link to everyone for reference)

3. A whale trip
Between August and October each year, humpback whales will return to Antarctica after giving birth to their children in the archipelago of northeast Australia, and stay for a few days or even weeks as they pass through the waters between Fisher Island and Hauve Bay, the whaling capital of the world, which is known as the whaling capital of the world. Because the water here is clear and calm, it is very suitable for southbound whales to rest and communicate with each other. The mother, who just gave birth to whale baby, will have more time to feed, make whale baby stronger and prepare for southward migration. Because whales don't rush, they can watch whales play in close range through the clear water, and there is a high chance of seeing them.
Fisher Island whale watching is from the Kingfisher Bay Resort, a total of four hours, if you want to know the specific itinerary can take a look at this.
