OnlyFans star Anna Paul attempts to lure tourists to Fraser Island’s Eli Creek
Aussie influencer Anna Paul has discovered one the country’s most stunning creeks, with her clip attracting more than four million views.
Aussie influencer Anna Paul has discovered one the country’s most stunning creeks that pours up to four million litres of clear, fresh water into the ocean every hour.
Eli Creek is the largest creek on the eastern beach of Fraser Island (K’gari) in Queensland.
It is known as a popular picnic and swimming spot with a boardwalk that follows the creek inland through banksia and pandanus.
However, one of its biggest selling points is the ability to float down the creek – which the influencer described as “like a long ride”.
“It’s like literally a theme park made in nature. It is beautiful here,” she told her almost seven million TikTok followers.
The OnlyFans creator gave a very detailed look into the tourist hotspot, with her clip attracting more than four million views.
She said the journey to the creek was a “very, very bumpy drive through the bush”.
“If you’re scared of Australia because of all its dangerous animals, you have to put those fears aside for one second and come here,” she told fans.
She warned, however, that to access the creek, which is roughly 200m long, you need a 4WD.
“And if someone in front of you gets stuck, it means you’re stuck. So we were stuck for an hour because one of the cars got bogged. But you know what, that’s OK. Everybody stopped to help.”
It’s been advised to take care when driving through the creek on the beach, as its fast-flowing water can gouge out deep channels.
“At high tide it’s best to take a break and go for a swim until you can cross the creek at the lower end of the beach,” according to Visit Fraser Island.
From the island’s eastern beach, visitors can walk along a lush boardwalk, but at the end is where “the real adventure begins”, according to the Queensland Department of Environment and Science’s website.
“Drop gently into the water and float effortlessly with the creek, all the way back to the beach. The ever-changing direction of flow from the creek mouth is determined by the sheer force of 80 million litres of freshwater pumping into the ocean every day.”
The 23-year-old used an inflatable toy to drift in the water, saying it took her 10 minutes to reach the beach again.
“And once you’ve reached the end, you can get back out, walk the whole way and then you go back in,” she said.
But it was the influencer’s comments about the local wildlife that had some fans doing a double-take.
She told followers: “There’s no scary animals.”
But then added: “There are eels in the water but they are friendly and there are spiders in the bushes. Don’t go in the bushes.”
“Anna: Put those fears aside! Also Anna: Eels in the water, spiders in the bushes but you’ll be fine!” one woman commented.
Meanwhile another added: “Spiders and eels? Nope.”

“Friendly eels don’t exist to me,” wrote another, to which the content creator responded: “They were nice OK?”
Others raved about the “amazing” spot.
“Guys I’ve been there, it’s actually really cool. I pat[ted] an eel,” one person said.
