DESCRIPTION

Fraser Island, at the southern tip of the Great Barrier Reef (just a 50 minute ferry ride from Hervey Bay), is a place with an uncanny ability to focus the mind and stimulate the senses - which we think is an asset when it comes to delivering the goals you've set from your meetings and conferencing business. The island is much lauded for its beautiful beaches, flora and fauna and for its diverse array of natural landscapes - and the destination's versatility is put to good use when it comes to designing a program, package or event that matches your objectives.
