Whale watching from the straits is also highly recommended as they can appear in the waters between Fraser Island and the mainland, specifically up by the Hervey Bay area.

Tinnanbar Road, part of the Tuan State Forest, showcases some of the most beautiful wildflowers. A drive down this road in the early spring and late winter (spring starts in September) will give witness to blooms of vivid colour speckled along the wildflower reserve.

Wildflowers are truly remarkable because they grow special lead randomly without any intervention by humans. Moreover, reserves like this one are aided in staying preserved.


While the actual town of Tuan isn’t very large, its state forest is around 70,000 hectares in size. The Tuan State Forest is one of many remarkable state forests in Australia.

This forest is known for its exotic pines, wildlife, flora, eucalyptus, estuary systems, wallum trees, just to name a few things. The naturalistic environment is absolutely stunning!

There is camping allowed at the forest with options that include facilities like toilets etc, however, the park is heavily protected so there are some rules to follow.

No rubbish left behind and no disturbing the natural elements of the park while visiting.
