Woodgate Beach

Woodgate Beach is a small community located in the Wide Bay area of Queensland. It is fronted by a long sandy beach protected by Fraser Island and bordered by Theodolite Creek to the north and the Burrum River to the south. Most of the surrounding land is National Park. Access is from Childers to the west or Bundaberg to the north.

The township is also home to mobs of the indigenous grey kangaroo – Macropus giganteus. There are also swamp wallabies – Wallabia bicolor, however they are not as forthcoming as there larger relatives.
