14/7/22 Kingfisher Resort Fraser Island

 


   Another day we head over to Kingfisher Resort on Fraser Island on the 9am barge . It was a windy day , so our other reason for going - a cruise up the western side of the island was cancelled . The other reason was to catch up with Heather - Lyn's sister . This is part of the entry foyer , looking down to the pool area . 


This is one of the restaurants off to the side of the entry foyer .


This is an undercover outdoor area next to the pool area .


And this is one of the 2 pools and a spa pool as well .


     Before lunch we headed out for a walk up to the lookout on the northern side of the resort , here's some of the wetland are in front of the resort .


    Here's the barge that goes between River Heads and the resort several times a day - it's about a 45min trip across . The vehicle deck can take many cars and other vehicles , then there's the passenger deck above it , then the all important Bridge , where they operate the barge from .


   Another view of it and River Heads in the distance . Last time we were here , there weren't any where near the amount of houses at River Heads that are there now !


    Unfortunately , like many lookouts , the trees are now blocking the views over the Great Sandy Straight.


   Not far from the lookout I was looking at a stag horn on a fallen branch , when I found this tiny orchid - each flower not much bigger than a 5 cent piece .


    Found some colourful fungi .


    We caught up with Heather and had lunch with her , chatting for a while , it was great to cacth up !!
    This is sunset beach , some of the debris from the floods still on the beach .


    Here's some of the houses near the resort .


    One of the locals .


   Sunset beach again .


  This is the resorts foyer area , very well hidden from view .

   That's our day at Kingfisher , here's a map link :- https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1rEvJ0daHEOs3jrMtcDnda9K8eFIjPag&usp=sharing
