Tin Can Bay

Tin Can Bay was originally part of a large timber logging area, which finally ceased in 1893, although some milling and dugong catching continued until the end of the century. The first recorded inhabitant to settle the Tin Can Bay area in the 1890's cultivated Oysters in the calm waters of Snapper Creek but this venture proved uncommercial due to variable tides.

Fraser Island

World heritage listed Fraser Island is the largest sand island in the world with its own Eco system consisting of some very unique flora and fauna. The island is only a short boat ride from Tin Can Bay but the recommended way to see Fraser Island is either by taking a tour or by four wheel drive. The barges from Inskip point to Fraser Island are running every day and start around 7.am and stop around 5 p.m. and are the only way to get to Fraser for those with 4 wheel drive vehicles.
