Explore Fraser Island
Heritage-listed by UNESCO for its shifting sands, freshwater dune lakes and tropical rainforest, Fraser Island is the world’s largest sand island. Crystal clear waters, soft turquoise seas and talcum beaches bask under a sky that curves around you like an umbrella. There may be limited options to get around, but there are unlimited options once you do. Drive or rent an all wheel drive vehicle, catch a barge, and the island is your oyster. If time is short, take a BBQ boat cruise to the island to enjoy the island’s pristine beauty.

Note from Robin :
There are an estimated 200 dingoes on the island, and with domestic dogs forbidden on the island, the population has remained isolated for thousands of years. Chances are you’ll see dingoes if you spend some time exploring Fraser Island, and if you’re luckier still, some other wildlife too
