There is a great range of Fraser Island tours departing from the Woolshed every day and can be booked through the hostel.
Our rooms are spread out over 3 different buildings, situated within a large garden, surrounded by ponds, tropical vegetation, palm trees and gum trees. This natural setting attracts a lot of wildlife, there is daily parrot feeding, possums like to drop in for a visit and Hervey Bay's famous fruit bats can be spotted most evenings, as they fly in their thousands over the Woolshed on their way to Fraser Island.
If you like to meet the other guests, find new friends, have a drink and a chat, why not drop in at our common room. It resembles an Aussie Woolshed, is entirely built out of wood and oozes character and atmosphere.
There is a well equipped kitchen with gas cookers, microwave, fridge, freezer and lots of cooking gear.
