Sip on a rosella dust sprinkled cocktail or a bush infused martini at The Seabelle Lounge Bar, for the perfect pre-dinner indulgence.

Forget ‘paddock to plate’, foodies are flocking to Fraser Island for culinary experiences that are authentically Australian. The team at Kingfisher Bay Resort help guests discover the delights of local indigenous ingredients (many of which most Australians have never tried), through interactive sampling sessions and menus that inform and inspire the senses. Resort rangers guide guests through the flavours of Fraser and surrounding regions, from the refreshing citrus of lemon myrtle, the sweet lillypillies, to the pintsized pepper berries that truly pack a punch. Guests learn about the history and pairing combinations, with freshly cooked kangaroo, crocodile and emu, to taste Australia on a plate.
