The tiny Queensland seaside resort of Woodgate lies on the scenic Burrum Coast, backed by Burrum Coast National Park. Its coastal stretch is pure beach, with white sand and gentle waters protected by offshore Fraser Island. It's a favourite visitor destination for tourists searching for a getaway destination from towns and cities inland. Walking in its quiet back streets of an early evening, don't be surprised by a close encounter of the tame kangaroo kind. Fishing and sailing are popular here, with the historic town of Childers just 50kms away, with its attractive Victorian homes and community buildings. A few Woodgate hotels welcome visitors, but there's little here except for a petrol station, a caravan park and a small store. The Burram River estuary, with its tea tree swamps, can be approached via the village's boardwalk, with walking trails bisecting the unspoilt countryside in all directions, leading to more protected areas including a national park.
