and Information
Fraser
Island

For lovers of sand castles,
at 123 Kilometres long, 240 metres high and 184 000 hectares in
size Fraser Island is the biggest sand castle of them all.
World Heritage listed
Fraser island is a protected Aussie treasure. Fraser island has
become a major tourist destination and camping ground. The downside
is the Dingoes have become used to people mainly because we keep
feeding them. Please don’t feed the doggies – they like
the skinny look.
If you are on a guided
tour you should be fine under the guides supervision but if you
are camping you must exercise caution, particularly in regard to
children. These doggies most definitely bite.
Now I’ve scared
you off, you’ll find Fraser island is a place of exceptional
beauty, with uninterrupted white sandy beaches flanked by distinctly
coloured sand cliffs. Fraser island boasts over 100 freshwater lakes,
some are tea-coloured whilst others are clear and blue and exquisite
to swim in. Most of Fraser Island’s lakes are ringed by white
sandy beaches.
Fraser Island’s
ancient rainforests grow in sand along the banks of fast-flowing,
crystal-clear creeks. The magnificent wildflower bloom in spring
and summer adding to the islands colour and vibrancy.
The Great Sandy Strait,
separating Fraser Island from the mainland, is an important wetlands
area. Among the 40,000 migratory shorebirds the wetlands are home
to rare and endangered species such as Dugongs.
How Long should you
stay on Fraser Island?
A single day will not
be enough to get the most out of Fraser Island but understand if
you have no choice (I just pity you). Two or three days will probably
do it unless you love camping and can afford the time.
The reality is you probably
should sell everything you own and stay in Queensland for as long
as you physically can but it would be irresponsible to suggest any
such thing so don’t do it (but I know the feeling)
Most of the Fraser Island
tours run from Brisbane.
