And now for that second World Heritage Site.

Millaa Millaa Falls is among the most dramatic, a natural magnet for iridescent Ulysses butterflies.

Some days, the journey matters just as much as the destination.

Or catch a catamaran to Whitehaven Beach, with sand so high in silica it squeaks underfoot. Decisions, decisions.

More beef awaits after you cross the Tropic of Capricorn to the Creed familys Langmorn Station. If youve ever wanted to learn about life on the land, this is your chance the Creeds have endless anecdotes to share over afternoon tea and a tour. Your next destination involves water. Lots of it. The ferry ride to World Heritage listed Kgari (Fraser Island) is a highlight, particularly during whale migration when these gentle giants come to the calm, protected waters to calve. Alight on the worlds largest sand island, and the only place in the world where rainforest grows from the sand.

The island also has a really long sand highway.

Just when you thought the island couldnt get any prettier, Lake McKenzie appears on the horizon, this dazzling patch of blue formed only with rainwater. Its a hard act to follow, but the ancient rainforest at Central Station and Wanggoolba Creek lives up to the challenge with its huge satiny, scribbly gum and kauri trees.
