Out on 75 Mile Beach, you will find the wreck of the SS Maheno. The vessel was an ocean liner belonging to the Union Company of New Zealand that operated in the Tasman Sea, crossing between New Zealand and Australia, from 1905 until 1935.
She was washed ashore on Fraser Island by a cyclone in 1935, where the disintegrating wreck remains as a popular tourist attraction to this day.
