This unique part of Australia is actually the largest sand island in the world. 120 kilometres long and between 5 and 25 kilometres wide, it boast a huge variety of wild life including dingos, whales, a large population of sharks prowling the shoreline and over 230 species of birds. If you do not make it there during the much vaunted whale migration season, you will still be able to go on dolphin, dugong and turtle watching.
Many people opt for a 4WD and camping tour and this is probably the best way to fully explore the island and all of its beauty. There are over 40 lakes to swim in, sand blows to slide down on and rainforest to explore. Take a canoe or kayak up the Dondonga River. With notoriously dangerous seas around Fraser Island, there are several ship wrecks around, some still resting on right up on the beach for you to explore. Breathtaking is the only way to explain Fraser Island.
You can also take your own vehicle onto the island via the ferry although you would need to have 4WD or similar capabilities in order to explore the island.
