Koala's
(Hervey Bay)
Hervey Bay,
Australia
#2 Ranked Hostel in the World
Inside Report
Hervey
Bay is the departure point for one of the greatest adventures a
traveler can have in Australia, the 4WD Fraser Island camping trip.
This is an absolute must according to everyone who has done it.
At
the hostel, you throw together a group of 8 or 9 people (Koala's
will help you fill out a good group), you buy your food and drink
for the 3 day tour at the local grocery store, Koala's packs up
your Land Rover with all the camping gear you'll need, and you all
pile in.
A
ferry takes you to the largest sand island in the world, Fraser
Island, and drops you off. Your group has 3 days to explore the
islands jungles, beaches (Fraser's freeways), shark infested waters,
shipwrecks, and pristine lakes. There are dozens of other Land Rovers
filled with backpackers doing the same thing, so the nights turn
into impromptu parties.
Back
to the hostel… Koala's is a world class hostel a half of a block
from the bay. At night they've got a lively bar where the people
are friendly and dancing on the tables is standard, and during the
day they've got a great pool to lounge around.
