Recommendations for a weekend away QLD
 

Hi


We live on the gold coast and want to take a long weekend break. Don't want to go too far (short plane ride o.k) - any recommendations?

How warm will it be at say Fraser Island? Swimming temperature in the water?

Thanks for any tips

Depends where you want to depart from but we used to go to Stradie alot its small but freindly and there is a campsite or really nice accommodation, I never chanced the camping as there had been sightings of a few snakes :eek:

Hi Fraser is great this time of year - less tourists :)

But not for swimming - not recommended cause of the rips and sharks - there are a couple of ranges of hotels and accommodation on the island and they have pools.

What about Hamiliton Island? Have not been yet but always being recommended to me by Aussies.

As per the other post....don't swim in the sea off Fraser!!!!

The inland lakes are stunning but I hear the water is cold over winter.

We are heading off to Fraser for a week on the 10th May...will let you know how warm the water was.

Fraisers fine this time of the year, swim in the lakes on the Island.
